XXL Magazine revealed the trailer for the 2019 Freshman Class cypher on Monday, July 23.
Last year, the freshman class included Lil Pump, Trippie Redd, Smokepurpp, Blockboy JB, YBN Nahmir, WifisFuneral, Stefflon Don, J.I.D., and Ski Mask The Slump God. Since then, some of the rappers have gone on to be even more successful, as Blockboy JB has released his new album, I Am Me, while Lil Pump has worked with popular artists such as Kanye West on I Love It.
This year’s group was announced back in June. It includes up and coming rappers such as Lil Mosey, Tierra Whack, Gunna, Blueface, Roddy Rich, YK Osiris, Comethazine, YBN Cordae, DaBaby, Rico Nasty, and Megan thee Stallion. Some of the most notable artists are DaBaby who is known for his popular single Suge, which peaked at No. 7 on the Billboard Hot 100 charts. Rico Nasty recently released her new mixtape, Anger Management, while Megan thee Stallion is known for her song Big Ole Freak and for starting the “Hot Girl” movement.
In the trailer, all of the rappers can be seen spitting their best rhymes. Blueface states “My sht ruthless. I need a Kim Possible to play with my Rufus,” while YBN Cordae said “See, what’s the cost of a dollar when you don’t have sht and you down up on your last bit? And every moment pasts that makes you wonder what could happen.”
The cypher is set to be dropped sometime today. Keep a lookout for the highly anticipated battle.
