2015 XXL Freshmen Revealed
Class of 2015
Fetty Wap
Dej Loaf
Raury
Kidd Kidd
OG Maco
Shy Glizzy
Goldlink
K Camp
Vince Staples
Tink
For those of you who don't know, the annual XXL Freshmen covers are the newest Indy artist that everyone is predicting to be the next major artist. Generally these are the artist who has stood out during this season, and are expected to make a major move inside of the hip hop industry. They're a few unexpected faces on the cover, and also fans like myself, were wondering why any of the OVO crew on the cover weren’t. Editor-in-Chief Vanessa Satten answers in a Breakfast club interview how Partynextdoor & iloveMakonnen lacked interest in being on the cover and how some of the artist got on the cover. Could they be following in the footsteps of Label owner Drake? Who was not on the freshmen list along with label mate Nicki Minaj. However the XXL Freshmen cover has had major hip hop stars on the cover such as: J. Cole, Kendrick Lamar, Wiz Khalifa, Kid Cudi, Future, Meek Mill, Big Sean, Macklemore etc... Following the release of the cover is the freshmen cypher, where each artist issued, has their chance to spit hot bars, ultimately proving why they're on the cover. I’m looking forward to hear Dej Loaf, Tink, OG Maco, and Raury in the cypher. So this is one of most hip hop artist's dreams. Congrats to the artist that made the cover they well deserve.
