The 2017 XXL Freshman class will be revealed this summer and now the Freshman hopefuls are here to show and prove why they deserve a spot in this year’s class. The 10th spot voting is happening now, so each of the potential Freshman are letting you know why they should appear on the 2017 XXL Freshman cover.

After breaking out as a member of the duo TK-N-Cash, TK Kravitz has made a solid move as a solo artist. This year he's keeping the spotlight in his direction by releasing material as an artist on his own. His single "Ready" showcases his knack for songwriting and delivering catchy records. He followed that song up nicely with "Understand," which featured former XXL Freshman Rich Homie Quan. Last September, he released his self-titled mixtape, a solid 11-track offering with standout tracks that include “Bae AF,” which features Ty Dolla $ign, and “No Mind,” which features fellow ATL rapper YFN Lucci.

The 10th spot voting for 2017 XXL Freshman will run for one week. This is where the public gets the chance to vote an artist into the XXL Freshman Class. Go here to the 10th spot voting page to make your vote count for your favorite artist.
