XXL unleashed their annual Freshman Class last week and got the streets talkin’. Yesterday, they began rolling out the anticipated Freshman Freestyles in an attempt to justify their picks to the world.

Leading off the ten-person lineup is New York emcee A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie. The rapper flexes his recognizable vocals in the minute-long acapella and proves his worth to all the doubters claiming he didn’t deserve a spot on the coveted list.

Peep the freestyle below and let us know if you’re feelin’ Boogie as a Freshman pick.
