I interviewed Waka Flocka, T.I. and Twista for REVOLT at the second annual HighLife Festival.

Every year, the annual XXL Freshmen cover creates a huge buzz, opening the door to much debate about whether these coveted 10 artists deserve the spotlight as “the next big thing.” Since its inception in 2008, the cover has become bigger and bigger, now being practically a rite of passage for new artists in the game.
