Stankonia Sessions: 2012 A3C Edition Mixtape Available for Download Now! (MP3)

We’ve been dropping leaks from this release for the past few weeks, and we are now proud to say that the Stankonia Sessions Mixtape, whose seeds were laid during the A3C festival, has finally arrived.  With production led by Grammy-nominated The Flush and SMKA, the release is an excellent showing of the New Atalanta sound, while keeping an eye toward the rich musical past of the ATL.  The mixtape also helps to tie in both the new and veteran artists that have formed and will continue to inform the sound of hip hop.  Artists such as Two9, Go Dreamer, Emilio Rojas, J.Pinder, and Boldy James mix it up with veterans like Slum Village, Rapper Big Pooh, CunninLynguists, and Bizzare.
