XXL Freshmen 2019: Predicting All 10 Members

10. YBN Cordae

Although YBN Nahmir was the first member of the young rap group to make it into a freshmen class last year, most fans see Cordae as the best member of the group. Nahmir's inclusion in the list was mostly due to his incredibly viral songs Rubbin Off The Paint and Bounce Out With That, whereas Cordae did not have very many viral hits that year.

Since then, he has had a few notable songs. While the most viral of his songs is Kung Fu, he really stepped into the limelight when releasing his song Old N****s. This song was a direct response to J Cole's song 1985, a song very critical of the new wave of rappers. The response to this was fantastic and immediately showed the lyrical quality of the YBN crew member.

In each of the past few years, the list has included one or two fantastic lyricists. Last year had J.I.D and the year before had Denzel Curry. Cordae would fit right at home with those talented artists and his cypher and freestyle would surely be the standout of the group.
