XXL has adopted a fan vote for the 10th XXL Freshman spot the past few years. I believe Iggy Azalea, Dizzy Wright, and Jarren Benton have been the past honors. This year the list is long and filled with some note worthy artists (and a few that have me thinking I should check NahRight more!). On first glance I have four artists in mind that I would potentially vote for the 10th 2015 XXL Freshman spot.

**Update, To Pimp A Butterfly is back on iTunes!!
Kendrick Lamar released To Pimp A Butterfly yesterday, earlier than expected! There has been some beef between Top Dawg and Interscope about the early release but I am unsure if this is a media scheme or not. In a day where almost every album is being released as a ‘surprise’ (check Beyonce…Drake…and supposedly Kanye’s next album) it would not surprise me that they did this on purpose. The hype started when Kendricks album was uploaded to iTunes with an all black cover and unnamed tracks a few weeks ago with a March 23rd release date. Then a few weeks later Rolling Stones dropped an article with a little more information and the correct title/cover. So the ‘surprise’ element has been slowly building throughout this process, but is the week early release (and a day after Tupac’s Me Against The World 20th anniversary) planned or not?
