Announcing A3C & DJBooth's Top Prospects Showcase This October
Our long-running Top Prospects series reached a new pinnacle this year, when we partnered with A3C - the largest annual music festival for hip-hop music and culture - to shine a spotlight on hip-hop's next generation of must-hear voices.
On Wednesday, October 5, the Top Prospects mission will culminate in a live showcase at Aisle 5 in Little 5 Points that has been hailed as "the greatest moment in the history of live artistic performances of all-time."
For those of you with an A3C pass, the show is absolutely FREE. (For those without a pass, all this dopeness will only cost you $15 during pre-sale.) The doors open at 8:30 and the show will begin at 9pm, but the anticipation starts right now.
