It’s almost that time of year again. Anticipation has started to grow for the annual XXL Freshmen list with pitches going viral and including some standout hip-hop rookies.
“Everyday Struggle” host Akademiks went to Instagram Sunday (January 28) to share a decked-out list of potential XXL ’18 Freshmen candidates.
This weekend, rap rookie $ki Mask The Slump God linked up with both G.O.O.D. Music’s Desiigner and rap icon Slick Rick.

Earlier in the week, music producer DJ Khaled revealed his intent on signing rap newcomer Lil Pump.

Recently, Atlanta rapper Gucci Mane extended his hand to try and sign Pump.
Only Joyner Lucas deserves a mention or to be on that list period after seeing who else XXL (ya’ll have fallen hard) picked. Just by the names of the artist I can tell already they’re trash and mumble fuckery with nothing of good to say on a track. #SaluteJoyner #FuckMumbleRappers #MCs/DopeLyricsMatter
You sound like the type of dude to talk about being “woke” n shit. Learn to enjoy music for more than just it’s lyrics.
Ur gay
So your saying that all of those rappers and hip hop artists are mumble rappers including NAV, tee grizzly, and NBA youngboy
You a dumbass
I can almost never understand wtf nba is saying
I feel bad for you
Who’s mans is this
DUMBASS
U sound angry like all of his music
hip hop has always been about both the lyrical game with the sound. If you look back at all the freshman classes a good majority have come and gone. So this class is no different. We will see alot of one and dones from this list. IMO
list is trash
I do enjoy your list
