Blxst Scores XXL’s 2021 Freshman Class Cover

Jun 16, 2021

This year, the XXL staff did record numbers of Zoom meetings from January to March to meet and greet artists, listen to new music and hear the rollout plans for roughly 100 Freshman prospects, which ultimately became the 10th spot selections. After much debate, conversations with industry peers and talks with anyone who felt compelled to share a Freshman list they created, 12 artists made the final cut including rising West Coast Hip-Hop artist Blxst
 
Over the next month, XXL will be releasing freestyles, cyphers, interviews and more of all Freshman artists including Blxst. His most recent EP Just For Clarity marks the first release for Blxst since his critically acclaimed debut EP, No Love Lost, released late last year.

Declared an “Artist to Watch in 2021” by Billboard, BET, Complex, Essence, HipHopDX, Pigeons & Planes, UPROXX, and more, Just For Clarity marks the next sonic step in the multi-dimensional artist’s stratospheric career.

Congratulations Blxst and be sure to look out for all the highly anticipated cyphers coming soon.
