He’s the Genius for crying out loud. Are you really going to miss this? We tried like hell to get him to stop over at A3C last year on his way out of the country and just couldn’t make it happen so we’ll give you some free tickets to this show instead. When anyone from the WU comes through Atlanta it always kills. Monday March 29th at The Masquerade. Give us your personal favorite WU Track in a comment below [...]
Mayer Hawthorne 3.13 @ The Loft
We just got the go ahead to give away a couple tickets for this show on Saturday at the Loft so we need to move quickly. If you missed Mayer (with A3C alum Buff 1) when he played The DU on the Monday after A3C, and I know a lot of y’all did because you were nursing an A3C hangover, then you shouldn’t miss this one. Supported by ATL Brittney Bosco this one is [...]
Wale/K'naan Show 4.8.10
If you are an A3C head you remember when he opened up the MySpace stage for us back in 2008 at Center Stage for Del, Jeru, and Little Brother. It was one of the most classic nights in A3C history. Little did any of us know then that he would end up in every major magazine and come back to Center Stage as a Co-Headliner only 2 years later. Check him out at Center Stage in the [...]

We have our hands on a couple of pairs of tickets to giveaway to the show. Binkis holding down the opening role we will selected randomly for the tickets from anyone who comments below and [...]
Soilla Home Town Heros
One of my favorite Hip Hop crews is taking the idea of “going to Austin” to a whole different level. Not only are they rocking SXSW 2010 but the Orlando superheros are actually taking up residence in Austin for the entire month of March. If there are two words that one could use to describe Solillaquists of Sound one would be dope, and the second would be unorthodox. I have been a hip hop fan for [...]
It is with a massive amount of respect for the undertaking that these folks are taking on trying to take all these artists to Austin to do this show that I put this post up. Events like SXSW (and A3C for that matter) are more often than not put on with a tremendous amount of time, energy, effort, patience, and frankly as a financial loss to those who put in that effort. Having Atlanta represented in Austin this Spring is [...]
Brought to you by the same folks that brought “Perfect Attendance” to A3C, Fadia Kader and SMKA are doing things in a big way and representing ATL well in Austin.
Up until moving the A3C from the Spring to the Fall in 2009 each year we were so up to our eyeballs in work that SXSW was little more than a blip on our radar to worry about. With the success of our move to October last year A3C is now firmly planted in it’s new home (the EAV as well as the Fall) and we’re taking advantage of the quiet to break out for a few weeks and head on over to Austin so we can hang out with some old friends and hopefully make some new ones so we can continue to bring the best of what hip hop has to offer back to Atlanta. We’ll be highlighting A3C alum, friends and family that will be rocking in Texas later this month so keep an eye on the site for our take on SXSW.
We’ve been in contact with a lot of A3C Alums over the past few weeks as we plan for the big event in the Fall. Two of our favorites happen to be performing in the ATL with a host of other characters this weekend and we have two pairs of tickets to give away to the show. Mr. Lif (Perceptionists, Def Jux, A3C 2006) and Willie Evans Jr (Asamov, AB’s, Nerdy South, A3C 2005-2008) are both coming to the Earl [...]
