If you haven’t been living under a rock for the past few weeks, you’ll know that the 9th Annual A3C Hip Hop Festival (October 2-6) is fast approaching. You’re also likely aware of the lineup, one that boasts feature performances by Questlove, Bun B, Talib Kweli, ScHoolboy Q, Jay Rock, DJ Premier, 9th Wonder, Too $hort, Aesop Rock, Meek Mill, Rich Homie Quan and over 300 other artists. Due to last year’s successful turnout, A3C has extended the events over 5 days with all new venues. Over 50 events, panels and shoulder-rubbing with industry professionals make A3C an event not to be missed.

Because we know this year’s festival is going to be unforgettable (over 20,000 people attended last year), we want to help you get there. We’re looking to give away two (2) A3c All Access 5 Day Passes to two lucky readers. It’s simple, just follow these instructions:
