Samara Cyn‘s one of the hottest young rappers and a part of XXL’s magazine’s 2025 Freshman class, and she’s already setting her career goal cap — to the very end!!!
TMZ Hip Hop caught up with Samara at LAX this week — fresh off her appearance on the newly revamped “The Daily Show” … and our cameraman Charlie Cotton firmly feels she’s on her way to the top!!!
Host Josh Johnson made his “Daily Show” debut this week to record-breaking numbers, where Samara dished on a plethora of topics and performed her “hardheaded” single from her recently released “backroads” EP.
Samara called it a huge look and recognizes that fans are connecting to the music — she was the only woman on the 2025 XXL Freshman, which also included LiAngelo Ball and EBK Jaaybo.
