11 Chicago Rappers Nominated For XXL’s Freshmen List

Posted on March 10, 2014 by Andrew Barber

After Chicago was criminally shut out completely from last year’s XXL Freshmen 10 cover (with the exception of a Keef mention), it’s only right that we dominate the nominations for this year’s coveted 10th spot. The 10th spot is the slot that ALL fans get to vote for, and this year it includes an astonishing 11 nominations from Chicago artists.

All I’m saying is we better win this 10th spot, and at least get 3-4 artists on the cover. I said the same thing last year but ended up eating my words. Let’s hope I don’t go two for two.

Check out the nominees below, and be sure to cast your vote right here.

Sasha Go Hard
Tree
Rockie Fresh
Lil Durk
Fredo Santana
King Louie
Lil Bibby
Lil Herb
Chance The Rappeer
Vic Mensa
Alex Wiley

    Chance Tree Louie Rockie Durk and Vic are all more than deserving. They too good for the list in my opinion. Them other MFs either ain’t up there yet or weak AF period

    My for sure 4 who I feel are shoe ins are: Chance, Lil Durk, Bibby, and Vic because of their profiles in the industry right now. That 5th spot is going to be a wild card, like Fredo who got high visibility right now too.

    Hey Drew, holla at ya guy at XXL to see if they just do a special article on these Chicago rappers. They definitely have a story to tell…

    Does Rocky get a pass just because he joined MMG? How can you be up for that and not put any material out all year?
