The first-ever XXL Freshman class was revealed back in 2007 and ever since has taken the rap and hip-hop community by storm. The platform has managed to successfully boost a plethora of well-known artists throughout the previous years such as Boosie BadAzz, Lil Uzi Vert, Plies, 21 Savage, Kodak Black, Megan Thee Stallion, XXXTentacion, Denzel Curry, Ski Mask The Slump God, DaBaby, Coi Leray and so many more. Each moving forward to reach their highest potential, most artists who have been awarded a spot in any XXL list have been proven to have the ability to take over the industry and make their own impact.
This year, the business is hosting the 15th XXL Freshman class and cypher while awarding a brand new generation of artists the opportunity to show the entire world what they can bring to the table. The 2022 XXL Freshman class consists of Nardo Wick, Doechii, SoFaygo, Babyface Ray, Kali, KayCyy, Cochise, Big30, KenTheMan, Big Scarr, Saucy Santana, and BabyTron; the annual freestyle cyphers will be produced by the popular beat creator, Wheezy Outta Here.
