For those who don’t know A3C is an annual 3-day Hip Hop festival that takes place in the beginning of October here in Atlanta. And yes, it is as epic as it sounds. To help promote this year’s festival (taking place October 7th-9th) the good folks of SMKA have blessed the masses with this mixtape featuring some of the artist that will be performing. If you will be or can be somewhere in or around I-285 next weekend, do yourself a favor and cop a 3-day pass here so you, too, can partake in the awesomeness.

J. COLE LIVE @ THE LOFT (ATLANTA)

Suuuuuuupppperrrr late pass on this one (partially because this fool neglected to tell me when he finished editing the video…but that’s neither hither nor tither), but here’s footage of Roc Nation artist J. Cole performing at The Loft in Atlanta a few weeks ago. Filmed and edited by good buddy Patrick for Deli Fresh (check his YouTube channel here). Definitely a dope performance and some equally dope footy to go along with it.
