(March 8, 2012 – Brooklyn, NY) Premier lifestyle and entertainment marketing firm Audible Treats is proud to announce their Third Annual Official SXSW Hip-Hop Showcase. The showcase will unfold on Thursday, March 15th, at Kiss N Fly, and will feature a mix of hip-hop’s most lauded acts, including co-headliners Souls of Mischief and Talib Kweli, along with Georgia Anne Muldrow & Dudley Perkins, Moe Green, A.Dd+, L.E.P. Bogus Boys, Roach Gigz, Andre Nickatina, SL Jones, and THEESatisfaction. As an official SXSW-sponsored showcase all badge and wristband holders will be admitted for free.

Now in its 26th year, SXSW has built a reputation for providing a platform to new and relatively unknown acts, an opportunity to break through in front of music fans and industry folks, alike. Last year’s Audible Treats showcase is a true example of that, when, during Roach Gigz’ set, Kreayshawn took the stage for the first time ever, performing “Gucci, Gucci.” Says Audible Treats President Michelle McDevitt, “SX provides a great platform for fans and industry insiders alike to witness live shows of dozens of up-and-coming artists before the rest of the world. Kreayshawn was a great example of that last year and we’re looking forward to giving this year’s attendees another sneak peak at the new class of emerging talent.”

For this year’s showcase, Audible Treats has partnered with media outlets HipHop DX and Pretty Much Amazing, along with a variety of elite lifestyle and audio companies that will be providing free swag throughout the evening. Joining longtime sponsors such as Rocksmith Tokyo, FLüD Watches, Orisue, Aerial 7, and IM King, will be Fydelity and IMIXID.

The following evening, Audible Treats celebrated their second event of the week, partnering with PrefixMag.com for a showcase at Nuvola that featured an eclectic line-up, mixing hip-hop with a variety of electro and indie acts.
