The XXL Freshman Class Graded

Submitted by Site Factory admin on

This month, Hip Hop OG’s XXL took to their annual task of highlighting the best up-and-coming rappers in the game with ”XXL’s 2014 Freshman Class”. Here at Cool Accidents we decided what better to do with a Freshman Class than give the students grades? Some ace the test and some need to head back to Degrassi Junior High and take a seat next to Drake…

So without further ado, here is the roll call and report card for 2014’s Freshman Class in alphabetical order:
 

 August Alsina –  F

Let’s be honest, Outkast’s Coachella set was proper LACK. LUSTER especially given all the hype surrounding it. Seriously though, the 3 piece dining set deserves more props (pardon the pun) than Big Boi & André, and yeah Chance The Rapper was cool but did we really need the Justin Bieber cameo?

Surprise Skrillex!

WTF?! New Skrillex album drops out of nowhere and drops HEAVY.

While Recess is officially not out until March 18, you can stream the whole darn thing below thanks to a fan sourced playlist.

Not only is it heavy on the beats it’s also heavy on the features with guest spots from Diplo, Chance The Rapper, The Ragga Twins, Fatman Scoop, One of the dudes from Passion Pit and a bunch more. 

A$AP ROCKY x GE$AFFEL$TEIN

We’re not really sure what this new ‘Divergent’ flick is going to be like but if the all-star cast they’ve assembled for the OST is anything to go by it’ll definitely be worth a watch if only to listen.

Featuring tunes and guest spots from peeps such as Banks, Chance The Rapper, M83, Tame Impala & Kendrick Lamar, Skrillex and today the audio dropped for the track that had us frothing at the mouth - A$AP Rocky feat. Gesaffelstein.

One To Watch - Vic Mensa

I don’t mean to alarm anyone but have you actually looked at the date recently? Shiiiiiit… Can you believe that 2013 is almost done and dusted?!

I recently had a mild freakout based on that fact and thought I’d better start preparing for the inevitable requests for my ‘end of year/best of’ lists so I fired up the ol’ iTunes to find out the tracks I’ve spun the most over the past 10 months…
