The XXL Freshmen cover always stirs up some healthy conversation and debate about hip-hop and the latest wave of up and comers, and there's generally some disagreement as to who should get a spot. However if there was one Freshman that it seems like everyone agrees upon was well-deserved, it's the raspy-voiced singer Anderson .Paak.
Today XXL unveils his Freshman Freestyle, following up ones from Kodak Black and Denzel Curry. Paak sings-spits about how everyone wants you (or wants to bring you down) when you're at the top of your game, even getting in some socially-conscious thoughts. Catch that above, and watch his profile portion with XXL below.
