After the overwhelming success of A3C Volume 4, the A3C Hip-Hop Festival has renewed its partnership with iHipHop Distribution to bring a diverse array of new hip-hop to fans across the globe with A3C Volume 5. This marks the fifth year that A3C and iHipHop Distribution have joined forces to deliver a one-of-a-kind compilation, dedicated to showcasing the new wave of premier hip-hop talent from across the country.
The A3C compilation series has been influential within the genre, serving as a barometer for which artists will become renowned staples in the ever-changing hip-hop landscape. Past compilation artists include Big K.R.I.T, Ab-Soul, A$AP Rocky, Danny Brown, G-Eazy, Curren$y, Action Bronson, Vince Staples, The Underachievers, Mick Jenkins, Sir Michael Rocks, Deniro Farrar, Chris Webby, Smoke DZA, Trademark Da Skydiver, Cam Meekins, Bodega Bamz, Freddie Gibbs, Boldy James, Alex Wiley, Trinidad James, OCD: Moosh & Twist, XV, Black Dave, and Dave East, just to name a few.
