The compilation’s second single is “Band Of The Hawk” by the buzzing 22 year-old Los Angeles MC, Azizi Gibson. Azizi’s musical influences are as diverse as his upbringing and such is reflected in this single. Born in Germany as a military brat and raised between Zaire , Singapore and Maryland , Azizi moved to Los Angeles in 2010 to pursue his dream of becoming a MC. As fate would have it, Azizi would go on to meet his current label head, Flying Lotus, in a chance encounter at a local gym. After hearing Azizi’s music, Lotus immediately took Azizi in under the Brainfeeder umbrella where he would go on to release his acclaimed mixtape Ghost in the Shell. Azizi has partnered with iHipHop Distribution and A3C for the release of “Band Of The Hawk” which will be featured on A3C Volume 3. The video is directed by Keaton Brownlow and features Azizi and his crew wilding out in the dark alleyways.
