SXSW, even to the seasoned vet, is daunting. With so many acts, it can be damn near impossible to decide what you're going to see. You can be at one end of 6th street and find out that there's a great show happening on the other side of town, prompting you to drunkenly bike your ass to the east side while simultaneously trying to RSVP to the show via your smart phone. That's a disaster. Instead, let us save you the broken leg and blown tire and direct you, ahead of time, to a great hip-hop showcase at this year's festival.

For two days, Audible Treats will drop the spotlight on nearly 20 hip-hop acts, including stars like Talib Kweli and Black Milk. Thursday (March 17), Audible Treats will blow up The Scoot Inn with the help of Blacksmith. On Friday (March 18), they'll team up with Prefix Mag at the Nuvola. Both days will feature music from 8 p.m. to 2 a.m. Check out our tailored schedule below for the acts you can't miss:
