Monday, October 13

NBA YoungBoy at Kaseya Center

After years of dominating charts from home while on house arrest, Baton Rouge native NBA YoungBoy is stepping back into the spotlight with his MASA Tour, so named after the album he released in July. Known for his raw lyrics and a loyal fan base that made him a streaming giant, YoungBoy will perform tracks from his extensive discography, which spans eight albums in seven years. Openers DeeBaby, EBK Jaaybo, and K3 will bring the heat early, priming the crowd for his anticipated return to the stage. 7 p.m. at the Kaseya Center, 601 Biscayne Blvd., Miami; 305-929-7000; kaseyacenter.com. Sold out.

Shaboozey at FTL War Memorial Auditorium

Break out your boots and mosey on over to see Shaboozey bring his Great American Roadshow to Fort Lauderdale. Though he’s been in the game for more than a decade — he released his debut single, “Jeff Gordon,” in 2014 — Shaboozey broke through last year with his record-breaking smash “A Bar Song (Tipsy).” That came on the heels of two features on Beyoncé’s Album of the Year-winning Cowboy Carter. After getting Queen Bey’s blessings, the groundbreaking artist is now in search of his own proteges: He launched his own record label, American Dogwood, last month. 8 p.m. at FTL War Memorial Auditorium, 800 NE Eighth St., Fort Lauderdale; 954-835-7080; ftlwarmemorial.com. Tickets cost $84 to $291 via seatgeek.com.

T-Pain at Hard Rock Live

From “I’m Sprung” to “Buy U a Drank (Shawty Snappin’)” to “Bartender,” T-Pain‘s discography is packed with anthems and timeless hits. His use of Auto-Tune redefined the sound of hip-hop and R&B in the mid-2000s, but don’t be fooled — he’s a world-class talent who needs no help from pitch correction tools. His longevity proves it: Wednesday night, he’ll celebrate two decades in the industry with TP20: Celebrating 20 Years of T-Pain in Hollywood. 8 p.m. at Hard Rock Live, 1 Seminole Wy., Hollywood; 866-502-7529; casino.hardrock.com. Tickets cost $64 to $300 via ticketmaster.com.

River of Grass at Coral Gables Art Cinema

With Florida’s environment in a constant battle against overdevelopment and climate change, it’s time to go back to the blueprint: Marjory Stoneman Douglas’ The Everglades: River of Grass. But this month, instead of picking up the book, you can head to the movies to watch the conservationist’s landmark work reimagined for the big screen. Filmmaker Sasha Wortzel takes audiences on a poetic journey through the national park, exploring the land’s rich history, struggles, and resilience. Alongside Wortzel, Miccosukee educator Betty Osceola guides viewers through prayer walks and local efforts to protect the habitat. Friday is opening night at Gables Cinema, featuring a red carpet and Q&A with Wortzel and Osceola, followed by additional post-screening panels throughout the weekend. 6:30 p.m. at Coral Gables Art Cinema, 260 Aragon Ave., Coral Gables; 786-472-2249. Tickets cost $17.75 via gablescinema.com.
