XXL’s highly anticipated 5th Anniversary Freshmen Special has been released, and we must say, it’s a very interesting group of emcees.
XXL’s 2012 Freshman Class only trumps one female rapper, Iggy Azalea, who is surrounded by a slew of multiracial male counterparts.
From Machine Gun Kelly to Iggy Azalea, right across to newly signed Bad Boy rapper French Montana, XXL’s Freshman Class list always catapults rappers into the limelight, but will this year’s?
Last year’s XXL Freshman Class list included:
- Meek Mill
- Big K.R.I.T.
- CyHi Da Prynce
- Lil’ Twist
- Yelawolf
- Fred The Godson,
- Mac Miller
- YG
- Lil’ B
- Kendrick Lamar
- Diggy Simmons
More than half of 2011’s Freshman Class made 2011 their year, so hopefully everyone selected for this year’s cover will do the same.
What do you all think about this year’s Freshman Class issue? Any thoughts?
