G4SHI's "You Want It" is the first single and music video from A3C Volume 4. "You Want It" was directed by G4SHI (pronounced "Gashi") and Jawney QVEST and premiered today on HotNewHipHop. The video showcases the Brooklyn MC by-way-of-Kosovo as he flexes lyrically over Smokie Morrison's hard-hitting production.


Celebrating its 10 year anniversary, 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 4. The announcement was made exclusively by HipHopDX and this marks the fourth 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 official cover art for the album was revealed today and can be seen above.

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, Deniro Farrar, A$AP Twelvy, Rockie Fresh, Smoke DZA, Trademark Da Skydiver, Cam Meekins, Bodega Bamz, Freddie Gibbs, Boldy James, Alex Wiley, Locksmith, Trinidad James, Azizi Gibson, OCD: Moosh & Twist, XV, Black Dave, Da$h, Scotty ATL, Chase N. Cashe, and Hefna Gwap, just to name a few. For this reason, the compilation has seen praise from various outlets including iTunes, as its editors raved, “the A&R rep has done a commendable job, cherry-picking some of the most promising, would-be rap stars from countless wannabes.”

A3C Volume 4 will follow in its predecessor’s footsteps by once again showcasing over 50 artists on one massive compilation. In the spirit of discovery, A3C and iHipHop Distribution will open their doors to accept submissions from artists and producers across the globe.
