Watch Anderson .Paak, Lil Dicky & Desiigner Go Head-To-Head In XXL's Freshman Cypher

By now we've all had ample opportunity to absorb XXL's full roster of freshman and their requisite freestyle performances. We've seen and heard the likes of Anderson .Paak, Lil Dicky and Desiigner all handle the mic respectively, but XXL has liberated a clip of their combined forces at work in a cypher of sorts, trading bars over a nateXcharity beat spun by the legend, DJ Drama.

First up, Desiigner makes it known that's he's more than a mic-wielding cartoon character, handing it off to Anderson .Paak, who provides no shortage of swaggerific heat. Then comes Lil Dicky to close things out with a flurry of ferocious (and hilarious) lines. It all makes for a wildly entertaining outing from this year's freshman class, but it certainly won't be the last we hear from the 2016 recruits. You can watch Anderson .Paak, Lil Dicky and Desiigner go head-to-head in the clip below. Stay tuned for the next installment and catch .Paak in transit as he makes way across the country in support of his breakout album, Malibu.
