DJbooth launched Top Prospects a couple years ago to identify and spotlight artists on the come-up that are going to be making great music for a long time. This is NOT a list of future pop-stars. This is a list of the most talented artists on the rise.
This year, A3C brings DJBooth’s editorial series to life.
Like DJbooth, artist discovery is what we love to do. We happen to believe DJbooth is one of the most important artist discovery and editorial platforms in hip-hop. If you don't agree, you simply don't follow them. They ACTUALLY listen to new music submissions and break artists before other outlets catch on. Their team is dedicated to finding and sharing new talent, and for that reason, we decided to partner with them to bring Top Prospects to life at A3C Festival & Conference.

"When we launched our "Top Prospects" series two years ago we hoped each and every artist selected would go on to become wildly successful, but playing the "who will blow up next?" game is boring, it's more about connections and co-signs than music. The question we're interested in answering isn't, "Are they going to be famous?" The question is, "Are they poised to make incredible music you need to be listening to?""
