TeeRoy's 2 Cents?:
- Texas is doing it big. A quarter of the list hails from the Lone Star state.
- Can you believe they’ve been doing the XXL Freshman Class since 2007?
- XXL picks too many artists each year for this to be a meaningful co-sign. Sure, some of these artists will continue to rise, while others will be quickly forgotten.
