Get ready to witness the future of hip-hop in action as the XXL Freshman Class of 2026 descends on LIV Nightclub on Sunday, July 12, 2026. One of the most anticipated events in hip-hop culture, the XXL Freshman showcase brings together twelve of the most exciting and buzzworthy rising artists in rap for a landmark night inside the legendary Fontainebleau Miami Beach.
Since 2007, XXL Magazine's annual Freshman Class has served as the definitive barometer of hip-hop's next wave, launching the careers of artists including Kendrick Lamar, J. Cole, Big Sean, Meek Mill, Cardi B, DaBaby, Lil Baby, and Roddy Ricch. Now it is the Class of 2026's turn to take the stage. Miami fans can expect a night packed with raw energy, breakout performances, and the kind of electric, anything-can-happen atmosphere that only a roomful of rap's hungriest rising stars can deliver.
The XXL Freshman Class of 2026
This year's class features twelve artists making serious noise across the rap landscape: YKNIECE, Slayr, Sosocamo, Belly Gang Kushington, Trim, Miles Minnick, Skrilla, Hurricane Wisdom, La Reezy, Trap Dickey, Chris Patrick, and Babyfxce E. The class includes viral sensations, underground cult favorites, and artists with co-signs from Kendrick Lamar and TDE, representing the full breadth of where hip-hop is heading. Notably, Loe Shimmy was a standout member of the 2025 class who performed at LIV earlier this year, and the Class of 2026 promises to carry that same momentum forward.
About the XXL Freshman Class
Founded in 1997, XXL Magazine has been one of hip-hop's most authoritative and celebrated publications for nearly three decades.

Each year the list sparks debate, fuels discovery, and gives fans their first extended look at the artists who will dominate the next era of hip-hop.
