In an era where rap crews are beginning to become popular again, one that has been making considerable noise is YBN, a collective of rappers with potential to become rap's next big stars. Founded by YBN Nahmir after he and core members YBN Almighty Jay and YBN Cordae met while gaming online, the ragtag crew of teenagers began to catch a buzz in late 2017, when YBN Nahmir's single "Rubbin Off The Paint," became a viral hit, turning the Birmingham, Alabama native into an overnight sensation.

The success of the song may have jump-started YBN Nahmir's career, but its also helped place the spotlight on his crew mates, who have made waves themselves. With XXL Freshman YBN Nahmir's growing popularity as a budding star and YBN Almighty Jay and YBN Cordae both exhibiting big potential, the arrival of the group's first full-length project, YBN: The Mixtape, couldn't have come at a better time.

YBN: The Mixtape showcases the three members in a group setting over the course of 23 songs, with each member also contributing multiple solo tracks. YBN Nahmir's "No Relations," YBN Almighty Jay "2 Tone Drip" and "Kung Fu" by YBN Cordae rank among the standouts. Although YBN are the central figures and do much of the heavy lifting here, guest appearances include Gucci Mane, Wiz Khalifa, Chris Brown and Machine Gun Kelly.

XXL dove deep into YBN: The Mixtape and picked out 20 of the best lyrics on the mixtape that are sure to catch your ears.
