The rap New England Patriots better known unto you as 1982 don't want you to get all caught up in their respected niche just because it happens to better than most of what you're hearing this year. Yeah, Statik's beats may nostalgic enough to put you in a teenaged mindframe when your love for Hip-Hop trumped your high school sweetheart and Termanology's dizzying lyrics may force you to put the iPod wheel into early retirement, but they still have heat for the airwaves too. "The Radio!" A plush but forceful jam that should have [...]

The 1982 vehicle is turning on the throttle in 2011 as the deadly combo of Statik Selektah and Termanology is cranking out hits quicker than Mark Wahlberg in a Beantown boxer flick.

The fervent energy of the crowd shows attests to [...]

I try not to get too excited about any musical events or traveling period. All of the pre-planning and coordinating involved usually does well enough at distracted me from the anticipation anyways. However, I fell head over heels in love with A3C rather quickly. The proximity is a plus as well as the fact that it's approximately six months apart from SXSW helps as well. But the biggest draw may be the wide array of artists that it brings to Atlanta. There's the rising stars, the names we know as well as future mentions [...]
