Ever since XXL unveiled the cover of the XXL 2014 Freshmen issue last month, they’ve been rolling out a ton of freestyles, behind the scenes photos, interviews, videos, and plenty more of their class of 12 guys. But now it’s time to get down to the Freshmen Cyphers, one of the most anticipated aspects of the cover shoot. XXL gathered Kevin Gates, Vic Mensa, August Alsina, Isaiah Rashad and Chance The Rapper to kick off their cypher.

Kendrick Lamar dropped another bomb at the 2013 BET Hip-Hop Awards, in a verse that observers started to call “Control 2,” because he seemed to be talking digs at name-brand rappers. Some speculate, he’s going directly at Drake.
