“Compiling these tracks was truly a nationwide, team effort this year and we want to thank A3C, all of the artists, A&R's, scouts, managers, producers, lawyers and media partners that have helped us make what we believe is our best compilation of young talent to date. Armed with the massive power of new streaming technology, a new generation has taken over hip-hop and made it their own and we believe that this is a beautiful thing. Enjoy the music, share the music, playlist the music and please support these artists.” -- Chuck Wilson, Executive Producer
