A3C has an official SXSW Showcase!   For those of you living under a rock, SXSW is the one of the largest conferences in the world.  Folks from Music, Interactive (tech world) and Film spend 2 weeks in Austin drinking free beer, eating free food, learning and discovering the latest trends in their respective fields.  We have been to SXSW the last 7 years to hang out with friends, make new friends and learn from our peers. In 2014 we started producing official shows with SXSW to highlight some of hip-hop's most talented MCs on the come-up.  We couldn't be more excited about our 2016 line-up AND if you don't already, get to know these MCs before they blow up! > - Mick Jenkins > - Young Greatness > - 21 Savage > - Smino > - Jay IDK > - J.I.D > - Hefna Gwap > - Dave East > - Nick Grant Make your calendars...   **When:** Friday, March 18th from 11pm - 3am   **Where:** Old School (401 E. 6th St.)   ![no-big-deal-main-flyer-1.jpg](https://blog.a3cfestival.com/hs-fs/hubfs/no-big-deal-main-flyer-1.jpg?width=600&height=600&name=no-big-deal-main-flyer-1.jpg "no-big-deal-main-flyer-1.jpg") We hit up a few of our favorite MCs from across the US and asked them if they wanted to rock with us at SXSW.... they said "Yes."
