XXL Magazine Fall 2020 Freshman Class

So far, 2020 has been a wild ride. COVID-19 changed how life works and slowed everyone down. It almost prevented us from putting together this year’s Freshman Class. But, a pandemic couldn’t stop the process. Sure, the magazine might be coming out two months later than usual. That's because we had to figure out the best way to put the whole thing together.

Hip-hop from many regions is highlighted this year. NLE Choppa calls home to Memphis while Polo G and Calboy represent Chicago. Lil Tjay and Fivio Foreign hold it down for New York. Baby Keem rests his head in Las Vegas. Jack Harlow is a proud Louisville, Ky. native. Rod Wave hails from the bottom of the map in St. Petersburg, Fla.

Down South gets love from Chika in Montgomery, Ala., and both Mulatto and Lil Keed are hot in the streets of Atlanta. San Francisco rapper 24kGoldn earned the most fan votes to land the title of the Freshman 10th spot winner.
