XXL announced its 2015 Freshman Class today. Last year the group contained 12 artists, but this year it dropped back to 10: Dej Loaf, Fetty Wap, GoldLink, K Camp, OG Maco, Raury, Shy Glizzy, Tink, Vince Staples, and Kidd Kidd, who was picked by popular vote. Raury continues the streak of singers earning the XXL distinction: in 2014, both Ty Dolla $ign and August Alsina were included. You can watch a video from the Freshman photo shoot below, and catch these MCs performing live in New York City on June 30 and in L.A. on July 13.
