XXL Freshmen 2019: Predicting All 10 Members
4. Rico Nasty
XXL has traditionally included at least one female artist in their freshman class and there are a number of viable candidates. While Cardi B is probably far too big for the list, Rico Nasty is the perfect replacement. The young rapper has a very unique style and personality that is able to carry even her more mediocre projects.
Her style is incredibly loud and brash, being likened to a combination of rap and punk which perfectly embodies the youthful spirit which the freshmen class always aims to capture. Her most popular song on youtube is currently Smack A B***h with over 13 million views and she has over 200,000 subscribers proving she has a sizeable fanbase that would get behind her place on the list.
She would certainly be one of the most anticipated freestyles and cyphers due to her unique style and considering how surprising Stefflon Don was last year with her own cypher, Nasty has a lot to live up to.
