The reviews are in and there are plenty of reaction videos on YouTube going around about the '17 XXL Freshman class. And with the dust now settling I had to let you know that not everybody got my seal of approval. But here are 3 that did. My Top 3 '17 XXL Freshman:

Here we are the end of the road. The 10th and final spot. Voted for by you the fans is no other than XXXTentacion. What? We've been over the name thing and weirdness so yea that still applies. So how? Why? Name.... XXXTentacion. The XXX part stands for his belief that porn is art and he plans actually pans to have his own porno. The Tentacion part is Spanish for temptation. He believes that the purity, the imperfections of a track are what makes a track great, and in many cases has chosen lower quality mixing instead of the higher quality techniques like reverb to clean up a track. Being from Florida XXXTentacion has linked up with ULT with famous '16 XXL Freshman Denzel Curry. He says his music is honest, it's the things people want to say but feel like they can't because of societies disappointment. So here are some facts about XXXTentacion:

We've been talking about how unique the '17 XXL Freshman's names have been. We've seen hoodie's to Playboi's, to PnB's. But one rapper who's name will turn heads, not for it's weirdness, but it's uniqueness, is Kyle. I know what your thinking. A rapper named Kyle.?? Yes Kyle, which happens to be his real first name, and he happens to have a smash hit called "iSpy", with the '16 XXL Freshman, Lil Yachty. But he hasn't always had smash hits. Rap started for Kyle when his dad introduced him to rap when he was 10. 10 really??. And since then he had made 2 projects, but after 2015 and the dropping of his project Smyle, Kyle was at a crossroads in his career. He realized he hadn't blown up like he had expected. So what did he do that changed his whole career? He said fuck it, and started dropping singles every month of which "iSpy" was one of them. 2017 has gotten off to a great start for Kyle only time will tell what's next for him. So here are some facts about Kyle:
