XXL Freshmen 2019: Predicting All 10 Members
1. Juice Wrld
If there's any rapper almost guaranteed to show up on the freshmen list, its Juice Wrld. The rapper has shot to fame over the past year thanks to his incredibly viral hit Lucid Dreams. Since then he has released a variety of projects such as his collaborative album with Future, Wrld on Drugs and his solo album Death Race for Love
Although he has shown his rapping ability on multiple occasions such as his feature on Ski Mask the Slump God's Nuketown, he is most well known for his singing like on the aforementioned Lucid Dreams.
Many have seen Juice as one of the heralds of an emo phase of rap which was ushered in by the likes of Lil Uzi Vert and the deceased pair of Lil Peep and XXXTentacion. XXL would be wise not to ignore this prominent subculture within rap and Juice is undoubtedly the biggest star within it right now.
Juice recently released his album Death Race For Love which easily debuted at number 1 on the Billboard chart, cementing just how popular he is. Given how quick his rise to fame has been, it's unlikely that his ego will see him turn down the spot and instead he'll lead the freshman class like Lil Pump did last year.
