XXL Freshmen 2015 is coming and the freshman hopefuls are gearing up to possibly make this year’s class. With the10th Spot voting happening now, we have to let the potentials tell us why they should appear on this year’s cover.

Bas was the first artist to sign to J. Cole's Dreamville Records. Prior to that, the Queens bred rapper got his big break off his song “Lit,” which features J. Cole and KQuick, originally appearing on his 2013 effort, Quarter Water Raised Me Vol. II.  From there, Bas appeared on Born Sinner,  featured on “New York Times” with 50 Cent, and later “Hell’s Kitchen” from DJ Khaled’s Suffering From Success. Following those releases, Bas began to gain notoriety. He surprised fans with Two Weeks Notice in preparation for his debut project, Last Winter, released in April 2014. Watch above as he tells us why he should appear on the coveted XXL Freshmen list.

The XXL Freshmen 10th Spot will run from March 16 to March 22. This is where the public gets the chance to vote an artist into XXL Freshmen Class.
