TuneCore A3C StudioCelebrating the independent spirit of hip-hop and nurturing the careers of a new generation of talented artists, TuneCore announced the launch of #TuneCoreStudio at #A3CProAudio. This unique program will bring together nine producer/artist pairings, who during their personal three-hour session, will compose and record an entirely new song. A3C attendees are invited to witness hip-hop history in the making through a live stream of the in-studio action.Hip-hop is TuneCore’s leading genre, both by revenue and quantity of downloads and streams. This year, nearly 50 percent of the artists performing at A3C, the preeminent hip-hop festival in the U.S., have distributed music through TuneCore. Building on this close relationship with the hip-hop community, TuneCore has become the Official Music Distribution & Publishing Administration Sponsor for A3C.Material recorded at the #TuneCoreStudio sessions will be released on an exclusive compilation album following the event, an initiative aligning with TuneCore’s pledge to help artists achieve their goals, without giving up their independence and while retaining the full rights to their music.The #TuneCoreStudio at #A3CProAudio will be held October 9th through 11th from noon until 10PM each day at SAE, 215 Peachtree St. NE in Atlanta, GA. A3C attendees are welcome to view the sessions as they are streamed to a screen on the second floor.The schedule of artists and producer pairings is:10/9/201412-3PM: The Fr3shmen with TuneCore Artist ChellaH3-6PM: WLPWR with TuneCore Artist Chris Rivers6-10PM: V12 the Hitman with TuneCore Artist Torch10/10/201412-3PM: Kato of SMKA with artist FortBowie3-6PM: Major Seven with TuneCore Artist Dyme-A-Duzin6-10PM: M16 Beats with TuneCore Artist SigNif10/11/201412-3PM: TheFam with TuneCore Artist Quake Matthews3-6PM: Black Metaphor with TuneCore Artist Masspike Miles6-10PM: DJ Burn One with TuneCore Artist Stranger DayTuneCore Studio at #A3CProAudio is just one of the initiatives TuneCore will be undertaking in support of A3C and the hip-hop community before, during and after the festival.
