"A3C Hip Hop Festival Renews Partnership with iHipHop Distribution, Releases First Single from A3C Volume 6 by A-F-R-O
With the 2016 A3C Hip Hop Festival now officially underway, iHipHop Distribution and the A3C are proud to announce their renewed partnership for A3C Volume 6. The first single from this year's A3C compilation album comes from the rising Los Angeles lyricist, A-F-R-O. With a name short for All Flows Reach Out, the 18-year old MC first gained notoriety in 2014 with an audio submission to R.A The Rugged Man’s ‘Definition of a Rap Flow’ contest, which quickly went viral. A-F-R-O quickly captured the attention of notable figures in music. Questlove is quoted as saying, “A-F-R-O is the future of Hip-Hop.” In July, A-F-R-O released his debut EP with producer Marco Polo, appropriately titled A-F-R-O Polo, to rave reviews.
"We Got That" exemplifies A-F-R-O's signature style of boom-bap mastery and is produced by the illustrious Mr. Green, equally known for his production for hip-hop luminaries like R.A. The Rugged Man, Jedi Mind Tricks, Freddie Gibbs, and The Outsidaz as he is for his Noisey web series Live From the Streets. On the hook, Scrooge insists, "you say you got bars, well let me hear something" and A-F-R-O gladly obliges with an array of lyrical acrobatics that will have fans listening on repeat to catch each line. The track premiered today alongside the announcement of A3C Volume 6 via HipHopDX."
