Each year, rappers from every corner of the hip-hop world compete fiercely for a coveted spot in XXL’s Freshman Class. This selection process involves intense scrutiny and deliberation. This year, XXL’s staff met with 53 rap hopefuls to discuss their music, listen to unreleased tracks, review touring plans, and understand their artistic goals. From these meetings, the final twelve were chosen, joining the ranks of the 171 past Freshmen who have been inducted since the tradition began in 2007.
To celebrate this new class, XXL will release a series of freestyles, cyphers, interviews, and more over the next month. Adding to the excitement, 808 Mafia leader and producer Southside, one of this year’s Freshmen, has crafted the beats for the much-anticipated cyphers.
