This episode of The Friends Podcast is about everything XXL: The cyphers, the committee, and the current status of all the artists that ever made a Freshman List. First we go from 2007 to 2021 and decide if the artists are still making noise or if it’s quiet for them. Next, we discuss the cover committee: who are these people who actually decide who gets on the list? The XXL cyphers/freestyles is something we always look forward to, so we talk about our favorite ones so far. We wrap this one up with playing our Love or Hate game and going over some things we wanna highlight this week.
