As most of you know Atlanta’s homegrown conference A3C begins this Wednesday, with a gang of conferences and shows to fill your hip-hop appetite. We’ll be there covering the festival all week long with coverage and today we’re starting with Part 1 of our A3C playlist series.

For this one we wanted to keep it simple and give you guys some names you know and mix some artists that you might not have heard of just yet. We also tried to do a Side A/B type deal, so the first 7 or 8 joints have a more underground feel and halfway through we switch it up and Side B of this playlist is for the turnup. We’ve got IDK, Kirk Knight, Smino, Wifisfuneral, Nas, Masta Ace, Bahamadia and more.

You can stream the playlist below, A3C begins on Wednesday and will have conferences running through the week that you can check out HERE. Keep it locked because we’ll be giving you 5 Conferences You Must Check Out at A3C here on the site tomorrow!
