My 2018 Freshman SelectionsScoring a XXL Freshman Class spot is a critical rite of passage in hip-hop. While not all freshmen go on to be long-term success stories, getting on the Freshman Cover ensures all eyes on you and your music for at least a few months. While the official list may not always get it right, Audiomack has put together a playlist showcasing our selections for the 2018 Freshman Class, and yes, we do get it right. Featuring Chicago’s Valee, Pennsylvania's most recent star, Lil Skies, and the West Coast master of pain music, 03 Greedo, this playlist gives you a look at the hottest artists in the game, the ones moving music forward, and the artists sure to break by the year’s end. Press play and discover your new favorite artist before they blow up in 2018.
