The Academy presents The Hustle

The Academy celebrates the 10-year anniversary of its marquee concert series, The Hustle, which spotlights new and emerging artists—primarily local, with select guests from across Canada. Focused on showcasing hip hop, R&B/soul, and beat-driven instrumental genres, The Hustle has played a key role in introducing audiences to now-globally recognized talent. The series has hosted performance debuts from artists such as TOBi, Sadboi (formerly Ebhoni), Emanuel, TRP.P, Obuxum, and Witch Prophet (formerly Above Top Secret), among many others. With over 120 artists featured across 42 concerts, The Hustle stands as one of the longest-running showcases of hip hop and R&B in Canada. To mark this milestone, a roster of alumni will perform in a day-long celebration in Trillium Park at Ontario Place.
