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
Slayr — Owen Smith and Nahom Tesfaye
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
