Watch Coi Leray's XXL Freshman Cypher
Coi Leray’s Freshman freestyle is causing a frenzy.
The 24-year-old rapper appears alongside her fellow Freshmen including DDG, Lakeyah, and Morray in the latest edition of XXL’s 2021 Freshman Class cypher. Over a beat from Internet Money’s Nick Mira, Coi shows off her squeaky flow while Morray provides ad libs.
However, the internet wasn’t too kind to the budding rap sensation. After her freestyle was released, Coi became a trending topic as social media criticized her skills.
