  1. 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

  2. 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

    1. Joyner lucas 2. JID 3. Smino 4. Cozz 5. Cousin stizz 6. Tee grizzly 7. Ski mask the slump god 8. Moneybagg yo 9. Montana of 300 10. Nba youngboy (i know some arent on the list but this list would actually be pretty dope)
