In 2007, XXL Magazine came up with the concept for their XXL Freshman cover and it was a brilliant idea.  Every XXL freshman cover salutes young up and coming artists whose careers are about to take off.  While the first year featured some artists that had been in the game for a while, every cover since has highlighted artists that were just being introduced into the music industry.

Here we look at every XXL Freshman cover in a quick trip down memory lane. Get expert college homework help and enjoy the sweet memories.

5 Quick XXL Freshman Cover Facts:

1.  August Alsina (2014) and YK Osiris (2019) are the only exclusive R&B singers to appear on the XXL cover.

3.  First female rapper to appear on the cover was Iggy Azalea in 2012.
4.  2012 was the first year a fan vote was implemented to determine who would get the 10th spot on the XXL Freshman cover.
