The Sammy Experience: #A3C2015 RECAP

This video is The Sammy Approved Experience at Atlanta's largest Hip Hop Music Festival and Conference -- A3C. It features songwriter Rico Love, Street Execs Artists 2 Chainz, Travis Porter, Skooly & Bankroll Fresh, Taylor Gang's Raven Felix & Tuki Carter, and much more!

Sammy Approved attended A3C's MainStage, Aunty Deb's Basement & The Street Execs and Boiler Room stage at Terminal West.

What is A3C?

This was my first time attending the Music Festival & Conference. It’s Atlanta’s largest Hip Hop Festival and Conference often comparable to SXSW in Austin, TX. But, the difference is that A3C provides an organic Hip Hop feel from beginning to end. You can attend panels from the most notable names in the industry and see performances by some of the greatest and most legendary artists.

What I enjoyed most about A3C 2015?

The spontaneity that came along with not quite knowing what the heck was going on. I was not sure who was set to perform when or where, but just walking around Edgewood and exploring the different stages and shows was amazing in itself. 

The networking on the streets is what really motivated me and got me all excited! I met people from all over the country and gained a great deal of exposure. 

What could be better?

I really wish that darn app worked correctly. You had to search by the artist and it didn’t display the stage they were set to perform on, so it was all too confusing. Just a minor adjustment that would improve the attendance for each “official” showcase. I felt like the shows lacked great crowds because no one knew when or where they were taking place. If we knew, we would definitely be there.

Overall, I learned a lot from the panel discussions, enjoyed the energy from the MainStage, and I cannot wait for the 12th Annual A3C Music Conference and Festival next year!
