It’s finally arrived! Every year, the hip-hop community patiently awaits to see who will make the cut and who got snubbed from one of the most impactful nods in the hip-hop game. From Kendrick Lamar‘s career taking new heights, and fans in uproar about King Chip missing from last year’s inductees, debates stirred about whether this group of newly exposed talent was beginning to fall off. But judging by the XXL Freshman Class 2013, critics and competition may be keeping silent. Most of you may be able to identify who’s who of the 2013 Freshman Class, but hit the jump to peep the full list.

Rapper Dizzy Wright is an artist that has put in extreme amounts of ground work and is now breaking visuals after visual and “Verbalizing” is one of them. The Las Vegas native is on the edge of the pop-trippy-rap culture, yet still uniquely undefined and brings his slow west-coast based rap style effort to the front screen in this new video. A wordsmith of real talk, a few beautiful females sprinkled in between the focused in face camera shots and some weed make for Dizzy’s exciting experience that is “Verbalizing”.
