Last month, XXL premiered this year’s Freshman list, which — as usual — set off a fiery debate about traditional, lyrical-driven Hip-Hop versus today’s merging of multiple styles and catchy lines. As expected, many were tuned in to each inductee’s individual freestyles, which may or may not have proven them worthy of being in the discussion. You can check those out below (you can also see each person’s individual interview over at XXL).
[Personally, I wish Compton’s Boogie and D.C.’s Chaz French made this list. There’s always next year.]
Who had the best one?
A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie
PnB Rock
Playboi Carti
Ugly God
Kyle
Madeintyo
Kamaiyah
Kap G
Aminé
XXXTentacion
