As part of my ongoing effort to create a documentary/archive of the works of Kenny "Kenny K" Waters, Tampa's first hip-hop DJ, I attended the 3rd Annual Kenny K Tribute Concert. The concert took place in Ybor City at Crowbar on October 25th.
Among the many videos I recorded during the show was the return of Shock G aka Humpty Hump to the Tampa hip-hop scene. Although he garnered most of his fame through his work in Oakland, to include discovering Tupac Shakur, Shock G openly acknowledged Kenny K's influence and ability in creating Digital Underground, one of hip-hop's most legendary groups. While Shock G had performed in Tampa several times since, it had been nearly 20 years since he performed in front of audience there to celebrate Kenny K and Tampa's hip-hop roots.
