WatchSecond XXL Freshman cypher featuring Yelawolf, Kendrick Lamar, Lil B and CyHi The Prynce. Also, peep the third cypher featuring Meek Mill, Big K.R.I.T. and Fred the Godson.

The Freshmen Issue is all about distinct artists from across the country coming together with different styles to form the XXL Freshmen Class of that year. I thought the mixed media look would help communicate that.
