This was sent to me by a loyal reader who asked to remain anonymous. It appears to be a cover shoot that XXl magazine is working on for their Jan/Feb 2010 issue.

The Freshman class boasts such notable up-and-coming rappers as Nicki Minaj, Nipsey Hustle and Wiz Khalifa. But looks whose name did not make the list.

I’ll let my loyal reader tell it:

What’s good!!! I cant tell you how, but I got my hands on the XXL’s top freshman class. The issue is most likely going to be the Jan/Feb issue. The talk around the office is that Drake’s people didn’t think it was a good look for him to be on the cover with unproven artists, so there are some fill ins and im sure you can tell who they are. One Love p.s. I took the pics on my blackberry so they kinda blurry.


Doesn’t Drake look like his biological genes got mixed up with a rat’s?
