XXL Reveals 2021 Freshman Class – Fans & Artists React

Coi Leray, Pooh Shiesty, Rubi Rose, DDG, Morray, Iann Dior, Layekah, Blxst & More Make XXL 2021 Freshman Class

The 2021 XXL Freshman Class has finally been revealed. Some of the artists featured on this year’s freshman cover already have a Billboard chart-topping single under their belt, while others are just now breaking out onto the mainstream stage.

Regardless, a case can be made for any of the eleven Hip-Hop artists who have made the cut and been crown the lastest XXL Freshmen.

Last year’s Freshman cover featured artists who would go on to become rap superstars, such as Polo G, Mulatto, Rod Wave, Jack Harlow, and several others. With such a stacked 2020 XXL Freshman Class, this year’s class of newcomers definitely has big shoes to fill, so without further ado, here are the 2021 XXL Freshmen.

Coi Leray, Pooh Shiesty, Murray, Iann Dior, Lakeyah, DDG, 42 Dugg, Blxst, Rubi Rose, Toosii, and Flo Milli have been named XXL’s 2021 Freshman Class, which the beloved Hip-Hop magazine describes as “out of this world.”

Several Hip-Hop fans seem to have taken Fredo Bang’s approach to this year’s freshman class by finding humor in XXL’s newly unveiled cover, with many people directing their shots at the on-and-off couple Rubi Rose and DDG.

Furthermore, the common consensus appears to be that fans think that Flo Milli was one of the most deserving artists on this year’s cover.

Check out some of Twitter’s reactions to the 2021 XXL Freshman Class below.

I tried to give recent XXL Freshman Classes the benefit of the doubt, but it’s super unexciting now. It doesn’t do anything that Genius can’t lmao.
