Aug. 17, 2012 - PRLog -- MCs, DJs and producers from across the U.S. are microphone checking, turntable testing and making travel plans to get down to Atlanta, Georgia for the highly anticipated A3C Hip Hop Festival to be held from October 11-13, 2012 at the Masquerade. Also traveling there is TRIBES Magazine, one of today's leading independent sources for urban entertainment and expression.  An official media sponsor for A3C in 2012, TRIBES will be on the frontline reporting on the freshest A3C trends and pioneers who are breaking ground in Hip Hop music.

Cole, The Juice Crew, Little Brother, MURS, Yelawolf, Wale, Pill, Freddie Gibbs, 9th Wonder, M.O.P., and GrandWizzard Theodore.
