Shuffle<\/a> has always been somewhat kid-friendly, and no one will bat an eye if you bring a little one to than this gig headlined by 48-year-old Philadelphia rapper Raheem Jarbo.<\/p>\n

Better known as Mega Ran<\/a>, Jarbo is up for a Best Children\u2019s Music Album Grammy award<\/a> this spring. The nomination is well-deserved for a quirky, relentless emcee who has spent way too much time running in the shadows and fueled by nerdcore fans who\u2019ve been showing up to shows for the better part of two decades.<\/p>\n

A past Grammy-nominee (New Orleans\u2019 Alfred Banks) opens alongside Croc Gang Tampa rapper Swell Rell and homegrown sad boy Lord Xzae. <\/p>\n

Tickets to see Mega Ran play Tampa Shuffle on Saturday, Nov. 22 are still available and start at $18.<\/a><\/p>\n
