Scared money don’t make none, which is why you have to go big or go home. Every year XXL releases their often polarizing Freshman 15. No exception this time around. Some of those artists performed at the 2019 BET Awards, like our good friend DJ Khaled (inside joke).

After warming up on those topics, we show how there really is nothing new under the sun by analyzing similarities in song progressions. From most successful producers, to the underrated unknowns, they’ve all done it before.

In other analysis of the industry, what’s up with relatively new albums being remembered before they’ve had time to reach classic status? Maybe it’s a part of music marketing in 2019. Oh and by the way, did we mention big bank take little bank? That’s exactly what Billionaire Hov is doing, and his protégé Rihanna is looking to hit that mark as well.
