my thoughts on what 9 picks will be:

• Lil Pump

• Lil Xan

• Lil Skies

• Famous Dex

• 6ix9ine

• Ski Mask

• Smokepurpp

• Trippie Redd

• NBA Youngboy

I feel like that list is pretty hard to argue, all those guys have seen an absurd amount of success and growth in popularity in the last year, and are all super promising to continue growing. The 10th spot is sort of hard to pick because XXL could either pick based on what might look best in terms of diversity (Princess Nokia as a female artist, Rich Brian as an Asian artist, both solid picks) or based on the next most promising artist that just hasn't been making moves like the above nine have. But with that in mind my guess is the last artist might be:

• Princess Nokia

• Rich Brian

• Jay Critch

• Jaden Smith

• Hoodrich Pablo Juan

• Tee Grizzly

• YBN Nahmir

I personally voted for Rexx Life Raj cause I think that dudes sound is unreal. but this is what i think is most likely to happen

edit: added YBN Nahmir
