The XXL Roundtables so far have been a little about how the artists feel in being part of the XXL Freshman cover but this episode with Vince Staples, OG Maco and Goldlink digs a little deeper as to what it is to be a new artist in today’s day and age. As the three put it, with the Internet, you don’t have to bow down to the label pressure and you can afford to do your own thing more than in the past, especially if you built up a big following online.
They actually drop some gems in the clip, so for any up and coming artists that are looking to make a way in, pay attention.
