YFNLucci has emerged as one of the newest faces of the Atlanta rap game. With his newest Mixtape “Wish Me Well 2” doing over a million downloads in a week you can not knock his hustle. We guess they still don’t “Know No Better”.

Jacquees has been around for some time now but should’ve been in this class of “XXL Freshman”. With his single “Come Thru” featuring Rich Homie Quan being a fan favorite girls everywhere support the young heart throb. His current concerts sells out in every city it goes to. With him being the leader of FYB the whole camp may be the spark to another wave of new music and a new sound out of Atlanta. We are pretty sure his snub from this list will motivate even more great music from the R&B sensation.

Bryson Tiller- It’s almost scary how he was left absent off this list. With all his shows sold out and everyone riding his wave Bryson Tiller might actually be MVP of the Freshman of the year class of 2016. But hey who are we to judge. Maybe he was too busy on tour to take time for XXL!

It would’ve been nice to see an honorary position for Bankroll Fresh. Fresh hit the scene running with Street Money world wide and Street Execs supporting him. Fresh had the whole world “Hittin’ Em Folks” to his hit “Walked In”. Fresh passed away earlier this year but made his mark in the game while his was here. The entire south respected and admired his work. Although his career was short it had a super impact on down south music. #LongLiveFresh from the #ChewyTakeOver
