Bringing the heritage of Southern 1990s hip-hop to Tucson, Big K.R.I.T. plays the Rialto at 8 p.m. this Friday, August 3 and one of you Bookmans Ticket Tuesday fans will receive passes for two.

"I'm reintroducing a type of sound from the South that a lot of the newer generation doesn't know about and reminding the older generation of what Southern hip-hop used to sound like," explains K.R.I.T., whose stage name is an acronym for King Remembered In Time. "I was influenced by the third coast as far as Texas, Tennessee and Atlanta so I was really trying to put all those sounds that I grew up listening to together to make a sound for myself."

Almost every Tuesday of almost each week until we decide to quit it already, we provide Bookmans.com readers with tickets to something like this that we think is cool. This week, we are giving away passes to Big K.R.I.T. at the Rialto.

Tell us why you absolutely must see Big K.R.I.T. this Friday night. We'll use random.org to pick a winner even if we secretly feel someone else has a more compelling answer (maybe we'll send them a little something too). Winners will be notified by e-mail Wednesday mornings or Wednesday sometime or maybe even Thursday, but you have only until Wednesday morning to comment. Comments are moderated and may take some time to appear. Please do not resubmit your comments -- one is plenty.
