Today, [XXL](http://www.xxlmag.com/news/2017/06/2017-xxl-freshman-cover/) announced the members of their 2017 Freshman Class in honor of the franchise's 10th anniversary. We're excited to congratulate A3C Alumni **Playboi Carti**, **Kap G**, and **PnB Rock** along with **Kamaiyah**, **A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie**, **XXXTentacion**,** MadeinTyo**, **Anime**, **Ugly God** & **Kyle**. After hearing XXL's Editor-in-Chief Vanessa Satten discuss all they put into *[The Break ](https://blog.a3cfestival.com/list/xxl-staff-share-huge-tips-on-how-to-break-into-hip-hop) *and their freshman list at our conference last year, we can only imagine how hard it was to choose this line-up! Over the next month, *XXL* will release content from all ten members of the 2017 annual Freshman Class including freestyles, cyphers and solo interviews in order for the fans to get to know each artist. Check out the announcement video below. ![The Blog Team](https://blog.a3cfestival.com/hubfs/a3c17%20red%20plain-1.png) ### Written by [The Blog Team](https://blog.a3cfestival.com/list/author/the-blog-team) This is how we blog!
