The large crowd at XDC Phoenix was treated not only to a competitive top-16 tandem battle, but to the REMIX Car Show and the Power 98.3 Spring Concert featuring Def Jam recording artists, Jeremih and Mann. XDC’s second event in Arizona was an astounding success up 50% from last October and the series looks forward to returning for a third time in 2012.
