LIVE from Criminal Records with KonsoleKingz in Atlanta, Georgia for the A3C Hip-Hop Festival, we brought a different kind of episode this week. Live interviews, Live freestyles, some great music, our special guest host Arablak and much more! Thanks to all our listeners who sent us down everyone who tuned and all the artists that came through for this special episode!
In part two of Major's interview with Jon Connor he discusses his upcoming release Vinnie Chase: Season 2, one of NYC's hardest working independent MC's Donny Goines steps in to speak a word or two on Connor as well as a brief discussion on the track Jon recorded at Stankonia studios with Joe Scudda and Termanology while in ATL for A3C. #thatshitcray.
Our first night at A3C Hip-Hop Festival, we caught up with a local cat Jon Connor for an interview to talk about his current project, his upcoming project and MC Breed resolution. On a side note, I'd like to add that Jon Connor and his entire team are some of the most hard working, energetic, humble cats we've ever spoken to. Even his manager Mateen Cleaves, former NBA player and college b-ball star, was extremely cool and down to earth. So big shouts to the entire Blue City Club for being a humble crew out here workin' hard and showing us all what real dedication is all about.
I can't imagine what else we could say to put the importance of this event to us into words. So we were absolutely sick with excitement not only to be able to experience it all as a team and get video of the event, but also to host the Konsole Kingz gaming lounge live on day 3 of A3C (that episode will be posted very soon). Here's a brief preview montage of our visit to give you a taste of the footage that is yet to come.
Big, HUGE shouts to Brian Knott, Llana Perry and the entire A3C team that was insanely kind and helpful to us, to the KonsoleKingz team, Alicia, Tyler, LL, Sergio (Go BLUE!) and most definitely CJ aka King Soul for showing us what Southern Hospitality is all about, to all of the artists that came through for interviews and being patient while we got our technical glitches ironed out, and most importantly....a BIG thank you to our fans for sending us to A3C by buying all our merch!
The whole crew will be in Atlanta (Major, Myself, Phro, Big D) with the homies from Konsole Kingz who will have a couple XBox's and flat panels set up along with a whole GANG of independent artists and DJ's who are going to be coming through, sitting in and interviewing, having drinks and playing games and discussing topics.
Don't miss it ya'll it's our first ever remote episode and we'll be LIVE from Atlanta! Keep it locked right here and hop on the show announcement list too!
A video from one of my favorite new(er) video crews 3 Little Digs. Shouts to Sean Falyon still being everywhere (SFBE) and putting out a video for one of his standout tracks on SFBE2. Even though he insists the preacher speaking in the song is a cut from the movie "Colors" I still stand by my original theory that it's Playboy Tre on those clips.
If you’ve listened to Episode #147 you are already aware of our efforts to attend the 2011 A3C Music Festivalin Atlanta, GA. For those of you unfamiliar with A3C, it is the largest hip-hop festival in the United States.
For the last 5+ years we’ve made it our goal to bring the best indie hip-hop to our audience, and since A3C will feature dozens of today’s finest independent artists, we really need to be there. We’ve booked our flights for the event, but we don’t have enough money to cover lodging, equipment rentals and other supplies. This is why we are reaching out to you. Read the rest of this entry »
Mr. Montgomery is back at it! Good to see Tre putting together some visuals to his good-feeling music out into the world. Thanks Tre! Personally one of my favorite tracks off the Last Call album.
