DC3 has secured another major milestone, picking up both Best Gospel Act and Best Newcomer at the 2026 MOBO Awards.
It’s a big moment. Winning within the gospel category is one thing, but stepping into a wider space like Best Newcomer and taking it as well says a lot about how his sound is being received.
This comes a year after his success at the StepFWD Awards 2025 “For HIS Glory” edition, where he was recognised as New Artist of the Year, while his song ‘I Know’ also won Rap Song of the Year. Looking back, that moment feels like a sign of what was ahead. What else do you expect from an award-themed For HIS Glory?
Even though still so young (currently 18 years old), DC3 hasn’t rushed this. There’s been steady growth in both his sound and presence, and people have been paying attention. As a rapper, he’s been able to reach different audiences without losing what he stands for.
The reaction to his win says a lot as well. For many, it’s not just about the awards, it’s what it represents.
Now the focus turns to what comes next. Moments like this open doors.
For now, it’s one to take in.
