XXL's 2013 Freshman Class

XXL

“XXL has revealed their Freshman Class cover for 2013. The cover features ScHoolboy Q, Ab-Soul and Action Bronson, among others. They join a list of emcees to be on the Freshman Class list over the years that includes Kendrick Lamar, Mac Miller and more.” [HipHopDX (via)]

Schoolboy Q plays two now-sold-out shows at SOB’s on Thursday. Ab-Soul played there last month. If you don’t have a ticket, consider heading to NYU to catch Cakes Da Killa, Killer Mike and eXquire instead.

Many of the rappers featured in this year’s Freshman Class were just down at SXSW including Angel Haze who we just posted some pictures of on BV Austin, and Action Bronson who we caught at Viceland and at a Warner showcase.
