This is a list of the most talented artists on the rise. Like DJbooth, A3C is passionate about artist discovery and providing a platform for the next wave of talented MCs.  We also happen to believe DJbooth is one of the most important artist discovery and editorial platforms in hip-hop.  They *ACTUALLY* listen to new music submissions and break artists before other outlets catch on.  Their team is dedicated to finding and sharing new artists, and for that reason, we decided to partner with them to find and bring Hip-Hop's Top Prospects to A3C Festival & Conference. **DJBooth Announcement: [http://djbooth.it/a3cTPan](http://djbooth.it/a3cTPan)** Watch them LIVE on [**Wed, Oct 5th at Aisle 5 from 9pm to 2am**](https://aisle5.frontgatetickets.com/event/2olw2ez8ycchsqd5).   Free entry with [A3C](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/2016-a3c-festival-tickets-23016101780) pass *or* [$15 Pre-Sale](https://aisle5.frontgatetickets.com/event/2olw2ez8ycchsqd5) ticket. **Hip-Hop's 2016 Top Prospects**[![tp-announcement-final.png](https://blog.a3cfestival.com/hs-fs/hubfs/tp-announcement-final.png?width=600&height=315&name=tp-announcement-final.png)](https://aisle5.frontgatetickets.com/event/2olw2ez8ycchsqd5) **Dave B** [Soundcloud](https://soundcloud.com/davebmusic) | [Twitter](https://twitter.com/davebspacedot) | [Music Video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQU6QMOjDXw) | [Feature](http://hiphopdx.com/news/id.38772/title.dave-bs-life-is-one-long-musical) [![Dave_B-889644-edited.png](https://blog.a3cfestival.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Dave_B-889644-edited.png?width=500&height=250&name=Dave_B-889644-edited.png)](http://djbooth.net/news/entry/2016-08-30-a3c-djbooth-top-prospects-showcase) **Kweku Collins** [Soundcloud](https://soundcloud.com/kwekucollins) | [Twitter](https://twitter.com/KwekuCollins) | [Music Video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nl6OW07A5q4) | [Interview](http://djbooth.net/news/entry/2016-07-20-kweku-collins-the-artist-a3ctopprospects-interview) [![kweku_collins-757306-edited.jpg](https://blog.a3cfestival.com/hs-fs/hubfs/kweku_collins-757306-edited.jpg?width=500&height=250&name=kweku_collins-757306-edited.jpg)](http://djbooth.net/news/entry/2016-08-30-a3c-djbooth-top-prospects-showcase) **Kelechi** [Soundcloud](https://soundcloud.com/kelechief) | [Twitter](https://twitter.com/kelechief) | [Music Video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PLNMkrJC51E) | [Interview](http://djbooth.net/news/entry/2016-06-21-kelechi-top-prospects-interview) [![kelechi-552484-edited.jpg](https://blog.a3cfestival.com/hs-fs/hubfs/kelechi-552484-edited.jpg?width=500&height=250&name=kelechi-552484-edited.jpg)](http://djbooth.net/news/entry/2016-08-30-a3c-djbooth-top-prospects-showcase) **Innanet James** [Soundcloud](https://soundcloud.com/innanet-james) | [Twitter](https://twitter.com/innanetjames) | [Summer](http://pitchfork.com/reviews/tracks/18178-innanet-james-summer/) [![Innanet_James-460565-edited.jpg](https://blog.a3cfestival.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Innanet_James-460565-edited.jpg?width=500&height=250&name=Innanet_James-460565-edited.jpg)](http://djbooth.net/news/entry/2016-08-30-a3c-djbooth-top-prospects-showcase) **K.A.A.N** [Soundcloud](https://soundcloud.com/kaanlifemusic) | [Twitter](https://twitter.com/KAANLIFEMUSIC) | [Music Video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AhiaEMMWWuI) | [Interview](http://djbooth.net/news/entry/2016-07-20-kweku-collins-the-artist-a3ctopprospects-interview)  [![kaan-411240-edited.jpg](https://blog.a3cfestival.com/hs-fs/hubfs/kaan-411240-edited.jpg?width=500&height=250&name=kaan-411240-edited.jpg)](http://djbooth.net/news/entry/2016-08-30-a3c-djbooth-top-prospects-showcase) ![Mike Walbert](https://blog.a3cfestival.com/hubfs/Mikelinkedin.png) ### Written by [Mike Walbert](https://blog.a3cfestival.com/list/author/mike-walbert) Mike Walbert is the Executive Director of the A3C Festival & Conference.
