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 for the XXL Freshman candidacy is Texas native T-Wayne. The 27-year-old rapper who rose to fame last year with his smash hit "Nasty (Freestyle)" has already accomplished a lot in very little time. With his "Nasty" track reaching the number nine spot on the Billboard Hot 100 charts and charting all around the world, Rickey Wayne is looking to increase his success with the backing of 300 Entertainment and unique flow. Watch above as T-Wayne tells us why he should appear on the coveted XXL Freshman list.

The XXL Freshman 10th Spot will run for one week. This is where the public gets the chance to vote an artist into the XXL Freshman Class.
