Pitchfork: Juice Crew Reunite to Headline A3C Festival

Juice Crew Reunite to Headline A3C Festival
Festival also includes Clipse, Del the Funky Homosapien, Three 6 Mafia, Little Brother

It's been about a decade since the legendary Juice Crew last rocked a stage together, but in a matter of days, Biz Markie, Big Daddy Kane, Marley Marl, MC Shan, Roxanne Shante, and Craig G will reunite for a headlining performance at the fourth annual A3C Hip Hop Festival. Unfortunately, Masta Ace will not be able to make the trip because of some previously scheduled promotion for his new album.

The Juice Crew's set goes down this Friday, March 21-- right in the middle of A3C, which takes place at Atlanta's CW Midtown Complex from March 20-22. Other performers at the festival include Clipse/Re-Up Gang, Del the Funky Homosapien, Three 6 Mafia, Little Brother, Jeru the Damaja, Wale, Aceyalone, Guilty Simpson, Akrobatik, and Public Enemy's DJ Lord.

Festivalgoers can also check out a producer showcase judged by the Alchemist and No I.D. (with special appearances from DJ Toomp and Don Cannon), an early morning Clipse/Re-Up Gang signing at the flagship New Era store in Atlanta, and a panel discussion about women in hip-hop.
