The 2019 Freshman Class Has Officially Arrived


The 2019 XXL Freshman Class is stacked.

Today marks the arrival the 2019 XXL Freshman Class, a list that has fueled much speculation prior to its arrival. Billed as an assessment the current climate’s rising voices, XXL’s annual has become a ble benchmark for many young rappers, a co-sign worth volumes. Now, the 2019 class has ficially been revealed, featuring several the game’s emerging stars. Behold, the chosen:

Blueface, Comethazine, Tierra Whack, Dababy, Lil Mosey, Roddy Rich, YBN Cordae, YK Osiris, Rico Nasty, Gunna, Megan Thee Stallion.

With the class in session, the next month will bring forth the interviews and cyphers, which are set to be spun by DJ Scheme. Given some the names included, it’s possible this year is more “lyrical” than last, and the inclusion Blueface and DaBaby will likely bring a refreshing dose comedy into the mix. It’s nice to see Tierra Whack in the mix, and if “Unemployed” is any indication, perhaps we’ll be looking at a cypher frontrunner; any predictions on who will have the best verse?

No matter where you stand on the selection process, it’s always fun to see the XXL Freshman Class come around. Congratulations to all the inductees. How do you think the 2019 Class stacks up in the grand scheme things? Sound f below.
