The first single from this year's A3C compilation, A3C Volume 6, comes from the rising Los Angeles lyricist, A-F-R-O. With a name short for All Flows Reach Out, the 18-year old MC first gained notoriety in 2014 with an audio submission to R.A The Rugged Man’s ‘Definition of a Rap Flow’ contest, which quickly went viral.

The music video was shot by Sam Lipman-Stern and directed by Jawney Qvest.
