<p>Each year <em><a href="https://www.xxlmag.com/2022-xxl-freshman-class-revealed/">XXL Magazine</a></em> reveals the list of up-and-coming rappers that are taking over the game, and that is promised to leave their mark in hip-hop. On Tuesday, the publication released the next class of rappers that are sure to have the industry on lock.</p>
<p>Officially launching their freshman class back in 2007, XXL is celebrating 15 years of recognizing the newest and hottest talent in hip-hop with this year&#8217;s class.

<p>Among this year&#8217;s freshman class are none other than Nardo Wick, Doechii, SoFaygo, Babyface Ray, Kali, KayCyy, Cochise, Big30, KenTheMan, Big Scarr, Saucy Santana, and BabyTron.</p>
