Petition | Get Rapsody On XXL's Freshmen Cover

So a while after this year's XXL Freshmen Cover was announced, 9th Wonder tweeted something about his artist Rapsody being featured on next year's cover. If you've been reading my posts you'll know that I co-sign Rapsody completely and agreed that she should be featured on next year's list. Well, 9th replied and said:


SO THAT'S WHAT I DID!

Read the mission statement below and hopefully this time next year, I'll be blogging about Rapsody on the Freshman cover! LET'S MAKE IT HAPPEN - share, tweet, Facebook, blog - anything! Just spread the word!

"Ever since XXL started their Freshmen list in 2008, a female has never been featured on the cover. 2012 will be the year that changes. Rapsody, JAMLA (9th Wonder's music label) signee and original member of North Carolina hip-hop collective Kooley High since 2006, certainly deserves a spot on the cover. Influenced by hip-hop greats such as MC Lyte, Bahamadia, Jay-Z and Queen Latifah, Rapsody isn't just a dope female rapper, she's a dope rapper, period - who 9th Wonder calls "one of the most gifted MCs" he's ever worked with. Her first release, mixtape Return of The B-Girl displays Rapsody's finesse and knack for intelligent rhymes and her raspy but feminine flow. We believe she deserves to be on the cover and hopefully you agree with us too. Make it happen XXL!"
