XXL Freshmen 2019: Predicting All 10 Members
5. Sheck Wes
There are few people who don't know the name Sheck Wes in 2019. The rapper had one of, if not the biggest hit of 2018 with Mo Bamba and XXL would be foolish not to offer Wes a place on the album.
The New York rapper released his album Mudboy in October 2018, after the release of the 2018 freshmen class. That album received mostly favourable reviews and since the release of Mo Bamba as its lead single, the rise of Wes has been meteoric.
The other tracks on the album such as Live Sheck Wes also have millions of listens so it's hard to classify Wes as a one hit wonder, meaning that his place on the list is incredibly likely.
