After taking some time off, we’re finally back! Today, we return to our monthly music discovery segment titled The Smoking Section, kicking off 2018 in the right way.

This time, we’ve decided to focus on artists that we think will eventually grace the XXL freshman cover. Slide through the picks below, and stay tuned for more.
