Just got back from A3C

Spent the weekend in Atlanta for A3C. Good times. Camp Lo performed Saturday night and killed it. They also announced that they're working on a project together with Pete Rock that's going to be called 80 Blocks from Tiffany's. Not sure whether that's directly related to the release of the documentary or not...Rhymefest closed out Saturday night with an inspired performance. Besides pulling a kid out of the crowd to do Kanye's verse on "Brand New", he kicked a super tight freestyle that played off some crowd interaction (camera poses and kissing somebody's aunt in the first row) and a great punchline about Eddie Long. The most interesting part of his set came when he stopped and talked for a few minutes about how he's running for city council in the district where he grew up and why people need to become directly involved in improving their communities (a theme near and dear to my own heart.) Homeboy Sandman and Tanya Morgan also killed sets. Brittany Bosco was amazing. Reks was dope.
I'm also happy to report that there are a lot of interesting young artists out there who bringing some really fresh things in the next couple years.
I came home with a gang of CDs, videos, pics and web links, so as I get a chance to sift through it all, I'll post some of the best finds.
