Not familiar with anyone in the 2018 XXL Freshman Class? I’ve got you covered. While there’s certainly more than a few big names in this list, I’m not too impressed. Definitely a few big snubs. What do you think?

J.I.D is the best freshman on the list nobody can even compete with him.

Lil skies wasnt there because he thought it was scummy that they picked the artiets then let the fans think they were voting

XXL is slowly becoming the Ellen show of hip hop

My XXL List:
1. Jaden Smith
2. Smino
3. J.I.D
4. Lil Skies
5. Rejjie Snow
6. Young MA
7. Dave (UK)
8. Ski Mask
9. YBN Nahmir
10. Rich Brian
This list ain't perfect but XXL need to mix it up a bit. 80% of these rappers fall under the same umbrella. There should be diverse members of Hip Hop. Stop picking artists who have accumulated the most clout and start doing some proper research. I'm not looking forward to any of these cats freestyling at all. bunch of "oouu" and "yeh" I'm good g.

Rs, how hard would it be for another company to start making their own list of upcoming artists similar to XXL? I wouldn’t mind seeing Worldstar or some other media corporation already associated with hiphop to start it in the same vein as the original freshman list and be more focused on lyricism. I get the new wave is trap stuff so this way XXL could keep on riding the clout wave and all the people complaining would have someone else to look for their favourite small artists to get exposure. I think this would cool if there weren’t any legal issues with it, which there likely is.
