A3C is quickly becoming one of rap’s most invigorating and important music festivals. We have never covered A3c, but we have been told of its importance by industry insiders as well as rappers themselves. This year we still were unable to send someone to cover it in its entirety – events, conversations, complications, consequences – but we were able to get a photographer to capture some of the majest of the event.
There are no crowd shots in these photos, but the ubiquitous sweat on the artists’ brows is telling. All photos are by Robin Johnson. You can see more of her photography here. Enjoy.
