As anyone who watches Fox's talent competition The X-Factor knows, 14-year-old Brooklyn rapper The Astronomical Kid, a.k.a. Astro, a.k.a. Brian Bradley, isn't your typical groan-inducing child artist. His professional handling of the X-Factor audition (including a staged beef with Simon Cowell) and his debut single, "Stop Looking At My Moms," which has a hilarious title but also brings attention to the sexual harassment of women on the street, have heralded the arrival of BK rap's future.
This Wednesday, January 11, Astro will be headlining for the first time at Brooklyn’s premier hip-hop venue, Southpaw (doors open at 8 p.m.). Complex is giving away two pairs of tickets to this important 18-and-over show. To win, all you need to do is be 18 or older, follow @ComplexPopCult (so we can direct message you), and then, in the comments section below, tell us your Twitter handle and what the title of your rap single would have been at age 14. Impress us and you and a friend will be in there. If you don't want to leave admission up to our subjectivity, you can also purchase tickets to see this sensation.

If you can't write something nice-dont write anything at all. Those who say such horrible things need to take a good look in the mirror and worry about their own behavior. Astro has the kind of work ethics that will last a life time. He understood what he wanted since very yong and has worked hard for 6 years with no one pushing him but himself. He will Be great and I have no doubt handle whatever comes his way with Intregity. A boy that respects his mom as he does shows his good heart. You hate on him but he is not out doing drugs, stealing or worse yet some of you have to be mean. I hope my kids turn out half as good.,
