AOC (@theaocproject) Innovate Your Cool 2016

Durham, NC’s Art of Cool Festival just released the lineup for their 2016 Innovate Your Cool conference. As with last year, #IYC coincides with AOC’s annual music fest.

#IYC focuses on innovation, music, culture, tech and more. This year’s event will include a round table with Rapsody and Terrance Martin on the creative process behind Kendrick Lamar’s To Pimp A Butterfly, a Moog Music-sponsored synth building workshop, Jeghetto’s afro futuristic hip hopera 5P1N0K10, a Google Lounge performance by Cypher U and J. Rowdy [READ: The NC State Cypher: An Important Part of North Carolina Hip Hop Culture & History] plus so much more.

Innovate Your Cool was my favorite part of 2015’s Art of Cool Music festival. The music shows were awesome but it was dope to take a break from the concerts. Y’all can check out my recap video of last year’s top coolest festival features below.
