Behind every XXL Freshman is a team working behind the scenes.

We used Booking Agent Info’s music industry database to look up the managers behind this year’s XXL Freshman Class.

The takeaway: the management picture is highly fragmented. There isn’t one dominant company behind the class.

Instead, the artists are managed by management companies, label-connected teams, and individual managers.

Some of the names behind the 2026 class include:

Belly Gang Kushington — LVRN Records, who also reps XXL alum 6LACK

Chris Patrick — CXREATIVE

Slayr — Owen Smith and Nahom Tesfaye

La Reezy — The Pinnacle

Trim — VM Management

Trap Dickey — Clayton Geathers

Babyfxce E — Jamaar Blackwell and Andre Hopson

Hurricane Wisdom — Prolific Dreams, who also reps XXL alum BossMan Dlow

YKNiece — Gaijin Records

Skrilla — Jevon Edwards

Sosocamo — The Haiko Group

Miles Minnick — Tina Minnick
