--- title: "2010 A3C Artist Spotlight: NOVA" description:

Having shared stage burning duties with the likes of D12 as well as 2010 XXL Freshman and Pittsburgh brethren Wiz Khalifa, NOVA will arrive this year at A3C with mic in one hand, and heat rocks in the other.

Originally a Pittsburgh, PA representative and garnering accomplishments like being voted the 2008 MySpace Artist of the Year (Pittsburgh, PA), NOVA's unique song structures combined with impeccable wordplay and breath control as heard on his *'Way I Am (Freestyle)'* below, make for powerful concoction of beats and vocals. To prepare everyone for his A3C appearance and his upcoming re-release of *No Maps To Kansas*, slated for 10/10/10, we have his first official single available free for a limited time. The Stomp features the legendary **El Da Sensei** (both happen to be performing on the same bill at A3C, on-stage collabo?) and NOVA doing what they do best. Make sure you get it now as once A3C rolls around, it won't be free anymore. And click below for tickets to this years' A3C Festival.
