Everything You Need To Do & See At Atlanta’s A3C Festival & Conference This Week
AsĀ festival season quickly comes to a close, A3C Music Festival & ConferenceĀ is slated to unofficially end the trendy pastime with a 5-day music festival and conference in Atlanta.

In its 11th year, A3C also incorporates the element of live panels and conferences detailing the ins and outs of navigating theĀ music business, as well as understanding the history behind the art and culture of hip-hop through academia, film, fashion, and social responsibility.
Fans can expect appearances from Father, 2 Chainz, Rakim, Wiz Khalifa, Beanie Sigel, Just Blaze, Cam’ron, Raury, DeJ Loaf, Mike WiLL Made-It, OG Maco, Curren$y, and so many more dope artists.
