We do our best to keep these events and parties within few minutes distance from Tacoma/Olympia (The 25360), but sometimes an event supersedes home. For those who claim to love, like or just listen to hip-hop, this is that show. The legendary DJ/producer Pete Rock and his trusted friend on the microphone CL Smooth will be performing their universally acclaimed classic Friday at The Crocodile in Seattle. The reuniting of such a significant duo - lyrically, sound and style - is major.  Wherein N.W.A. brought a gangsta attitude, De La Soul delivered a daisy-age attitude, Pete Rock and CL Smooth brought a sound and message delivered by the soul, for the soul. Should be a fun one. {JOSE GUITERREZ JR.}

PETE ROCK & CL SMOOTH, w/Camp Lo, Porter Ray and DJ Supreme LaRock, 8 p.m., all ages, The Crocodile, 2200 Second Ave, Seattle, $20, ticketfly.com
