None Like Joshua
None Like Joshua has dominated on the YouTube music scene for several years, with over 250K subscribers. His fast-paced and high energy raps cover video games and anime, but it was his “Evil Morty” rap video inspired by the Rick and Morty series that has brought him the most success, with over 6 MILLION views on YouTube.
Earlier this year, NLJ toured with Mega Ran throughout the country, with many sold out shows and he has performed at conventions such as Anime Weekend Atlanta, NashiCon, and SXSW. None Like Joshua will be performing in Orlando for the first time at NEXGEN.

Wreck the System
Wreck the System is hip hop group from Baltimore with incredibly energetic stage shows that draw influence from old-school hip hop, without being afraid to integrate chiptune, rock, EDM, and dubstep into their music.
Their latest album, Wreckfest, tells the story of up and downs of an anime convention-style weekend that is filled with truth, humor, and lots of fun. Wreck the System has performed at events such as MAGFest, Bit Gen Gamer Fest, and ONF Fantoku.
