Hard Rock Cafe in Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tampa will host a Timeless Hip Hop performance on Wednesday, February 21 at 10 p.m.

Featuring The Beatnuts, Craig G, Mr. Cheeks of the Lost Boyz, MC Serch and DJ Sandman, the Timeless Hip Hop Series is a jam session that brings a different vibe of how performances are experienced by allowing the artists to share their hits as a free flowing music journey.

Tickets starting at $25 are available now via seminolehardrocktampa.com and Ticketmaster.

The Beatnuts is an American hip hop group and production duo from New York City. Its current members are JuJu and Psycho Les. JuJu (born Jerry Tineo) is a Dominican American from Corona, New York, and Psycho Les (born Lester Fernandez) is a Colombian American from Jackson Heights, New York. Although only peripheral members, they are routinely acknowledged by Q-Tip as being members of Native Tongues.

Craig Curry, better known by his stage name Craig G, is an American rapper. He is perhaps best known as one of the members of hip hop producer Marley Marl’s Cold Chillin’ Records group Juice Crew. He recorded the single "Shout Rap" with Marley Marl in 1985 at 12 years old and in 1988 recorded "The Symphony" with Juice Crew described by AllMusic as "a landmark moment in the evolution of hardcore rap". He was then signed by Atlantic Records who released two albums, in 1989 and 1991, with little promotion. After his experience with Atlantic, his career went quiet for much of the 1990’s although later in the decade he regained popularity with underground rap fans.
