Kevin Nottingham showcase @ A3C

The A3C Hip Hop Festival announces the Kevin Nottingham showcase on Friday, October 8, 2010 from 8 – 10 p.m. on the outside stage at The Masquerade.

Hip Hop enthusiast Kevin Nottingham (KN) founded his popular blog in 2007 in an effort to bridge the gap between all forms of Hip Hop, from old school to new school and including underground to mainstream. This special A3C showcase is no exception to the KN principles featuring recording artists from HiPNOTT Records, Coalmine Records and the Hall of Justus Music Group.

Kevin Nottingham presents live performances by Rapper Big Pooh, El Da Sensei, Cymarshall Law, Chaundon, Roc C, Joe Scudda, Jozeemo, K. Sparks, Jermiside, Bekay, Spectac & Amiri, Nobody Famous, Tomorrow, Yesterday, E Reece and Singapore Kane.

Erik Sermon, Camp Lo, Rhymefest, Homeboy Sandman, Da Beatminerz, Diamond District, Pac Div, Mickey Factz, Black Spade, Jackie Chain and Skweby are some of the other several hundred artists that have been announced so far to perform during the 2010 A3C Hip Hip Festival. Performers will be released on a continual basis until the start of the festival.

In addition to the live performances and showcases, the A3C Hip Hop Festival features a wide variety of programming including the iStandard Producer Battle, Needle to the Record DJ Competition, Pro-Audio demonstrations, a one-on-one breakdance competition and educational panel discussions.
