Detroit rappers earn spot on freshman list

Driving the news: Since 2007, four Detroit artists have been featured on the highly debated list: Big Sean (2010), Danny Brown (2012), Dej Loaf (2015), and 42 Dugg (2021), according to Detroit Metro Times.

💭 Sam's thought bubble: Babyface Ray isn't really a "freshman" — he's been Detroit's most popular rapper for a few years now after being active for a decade since his days with Team Eastside.
