This past weekend Jay Shells and Mike Walbert (A3C's Festival Director) drove around Atlanta, GA putting up more than 25 of The Rap Quotes street signs. What started out as cloudy overcast weekend in Atlanta, ended up being a fairly spiritual journey through some of the most legendary places in ATL hip-hop history.
... A video & photo recap by Aymann Ismail of Animal Newyork coming soon!
Check out the CREATIVE LOAFING ARTICLE interviewing Jay Shells about his upcoming trip to Atlanta.
Now that the signs are officially up, we are launching The Rap Quotes ATL Instagram Sign Hunt.
Here is how it works...
Instagram a photo of yourself with an ATL Rap Quote Street Sign and tag #TheRapQuotesA3C & @a3cfestival.
NOTES: Photo must be original (no photoshop). Sign must still be in its original place. Do not remove the sign.
Tag 1 Sign: Receive a discount code for 50% off of a 2015 A3C Pass
Tag 3 Signs: Receive one FREE 2015 All-Access A3C Pass
NOTES: A3C will DM code and details for free pass, so you must be following @a3cfestival on Instagram. We will also be dropping hints and clues throughout the week,

HAPPY HUNTING!
The Rap Quotes campaign started in NYC by Jay Shells has expanded to LA, Philly and now ATL. The Rap Quotes attempts to catalog all site-specific rap lyrics by installing them as street signs in the exact locations mentioned... Think Outkast's Elevators opening line "One for the money, Yessir two for the show. A couple years ago on Headland & Delowe, was the start of something good..." - Andre 3000
We know we missed a lot of great quotes so PLEASE send in more Rap Quote locations and maybe we will being Jay Shells back during 2015 A3C Festival & Conference for round two... and you can meet him! [please send them here]
So far, over 75 signs have been installed in New York, 75 signs have been installed in Los Angeles and 22 have been installed in Philadelphia. All have since been stolen/removed. After Atlanta, Jay plans to visit Houston, Chicago, New Orleans & The Bay Area. All major cities in the US will be visited before the project moves over seas. If you have site-specific lyrics you think should be included in the project, please send them to me here or tweet to @TheRapQuotes.
