"BLUE CITY CLUB!!!!!"

If you're ever attending an A3C event and it sounds like a fraternity of soldiers just entered the building, you've stumbled into the vicinity of the All Varsity Star of Flint, MI and today's A3C alumni, Jon Connor. A true flow-ologist of the new school hip-hop, discovered and managed by Mateen Cleaves, Jon Connor is a lyrical beast amongst men. His first appearance at A3C 2011 was on the Perfect Attendance stage joined by Saigon and Pill. To say that A3C performance was captivating would be an understatement. The kid can't help but come off as firing from all cylinders when you put a mic in his hand. His shows are raw, energetic, and simply breath taking -- you'll have to hear him spit a verse to really get it.

Check out some of his past show footage and interviews from 2011 and 2012 at A3C and SxSW.
