XXL Freshman 2016 is coming and the freshman hopefuls are gearing up to possibly make this year’s class. With the 10th Spot voting happening now, we have to let the potentials tell us why they should appear on this year’s cover.

Up next is Rich The Kid. The ATL rhymer has been putting in work since bursting on to the scene three years ago. The 23-year-old has released over 10 mixtapes since his debut, Been About The Benjamins, which dropped in March of 2013. Rich is signed to Quality Control, the independent label behind Migos and OG Maco. He's also one of the cultivators of the Dab phenomenon that has reigned over the past year. His most recent tape, Dabbin Fever, dropped this past december. Watch above as he tells us why he should appear on the coveted XXL Freshman list.
