The headline says it all: A3C and MICXSIC have rallied the most formidable voices from Atlanta’s hip-hop cipher scene to go mano a mano with the Donald and smack the mic from his tiny hands.

Okay, so Trump won’t really be there, but there will be a Trump impersonator on the stage. A3C production director Matt Weiss is the man behind the event. Weiss attended a Slam Bush event in Athens back in 2004, and adapted the idea to fit the modern political climate. “It’s important to have a conversation about where we are in the political timeline,” Weiss says. “Given where we’re at with the presidential race it’s important to get everyone together. Using hip-hop to express these emotions in a positive way is something that we all need.”

It’s a fun but serious event. All proceeds go to the A3C Action fund. Let’s build a wall around this chump named Trump.
