Every year, Forbes releases a Hip-Hop Cash Kings list that includes the biggest money-earners in the genre, but last year, they began doing a Hip-Hop Cash Princes list as well. This list has less to do with the actual amount they’ve earned thus far, but more so focuses on predicting who will soon make their way into the Kings category. It’s kind of like the XXL Freshmen list for money-making, in a sense. Any hip-hop act under age 30 as of March 31st, 2015 is eligible for the list, as long as he or she hasn’t appeared on a previous Cash Kings or Princes list. Curated by DJ Khaled, Tyga, Peter Rosenberg and Forbes staff writers Natalie Robehmed and Zack O’Malley Greenburg this year, the Class of 2015 is made up of 12 artists – 2 singers, 3 producers (one of which is also a rapper) and 7 rappers…and only one girl made the cut. Can you guess who? Hit the gallery to find out who made the Forbes Hip-Hop Cash Princes 2015 list!
