When is xxl freshman 2018

Cole to autotune innovators like Future and Lil Uzi Vert, some of their misses are so egregious that it makes me wonder how much sway it should have on the hip-hop community in the first place. Even then, he would still be a clear snub from the list. By , the thenyear-old Australian rapper already had two music videos with renowned director, Cole Bennett.

Laroi currently has more monthly Spotify listeners than legends like Jay-Z and popular rappers of the day like Lil Durk. YoungBoy Never Broke Again is one of the most divisive rappers out there.

His first week at 1 on the list was the week of Jan. The trio of relatives — Quavo, Offset and Takeoff — almost single-handedly popularized the triplet flow, one of the most commonly used flows in rap today. Before Lil Baby even started taking rapping seriously, he had already made quite the name for himself in Atlanta.

Indeed, he had already begun to distinguish himself from his peers through his fusion of piercing lyrics with melodic drawl. He was put on probation for jumping another rapper, and was recently arrested for pistol-whipping a girl. Wifi needed one more good year before he was put on the Freshman class list. This way, he would be able to put out more music and get more attention on him. Blocboy JB is the most surprising person on this list, simply because he blew up literally two months ago off of a Drake feature.

His placement seems really rushed to me. I like Stefflon Don. She can spit. The only reason I want to remove her from the Freshman list is because there is a more deserving woman who needs to be on there. I also see how XXL used her to fill the female and the international spot as well, but I have a fix for that too.

He did all of this while being relatively unknown. Despite this, he remains a solid artist with hard-hitting bars. Like Lil Baby, this Atlanta native has been tearing up the streets with his trap classics. Gunna was definitely snubbed from the list.

Rico is one of the hardest female rappers we have right now. She is absolutely nuts. She has an amazing story also, starting off as a single teen mother then making her way up into the rap industry.

She also just got signed to Atlantic Records. Her bright and flashy personality, along with a modern punk-rock style, separates her from the typical female rapper.

I believe XXL needed this.
