You were buying the album anyways, right?
Well how about a chance to buy the album, show your support…and win something in the process?
Yep, we’re back at it, just like we did before with the TSS x Little Brother “Proof Of Purchase” Giveway.
Same process to enter…
1. Grab a sheet of paper & write your name on it.
2. Take a picture of your CD & that piece of paper.
3. Email us your pic at The.Smoking.Section.Contests at gmail.com and put “TSS x Rising Down” in the subject line.
MZ Shows You How To Do This Son.
4. We’ll go through to randomly pick out two winners those individuals will receive a $50 gift certificate for purchases @ the Okayplayer store, courtesy of TSS. Considering they just released their Spring/Summer ’08 Tees, you’re bound to find something worth your while…for an album you were buying anyway, right?
We’ll stop taking submissions on 5.10.08 5.13.08 (stretching it out a few days to take in last minute entries) and announce the winners on 5.15.08. That gives you some time after the 1st of the month to pay your rent & still get out there to buy a CD.
The Roots are currently on the road performing with Erykah Badu. Visit Okayplayer.com for show dates, updates & info.
View all of the current submissions in the Flickr Photo Set.
