“I’ve never considered myself the best producer or the best singer or the best rapper or any of those separate categories. But one thing I do have confidence in is my feeling.” — André 3000

One of the greatest rappers of our time in conversation with one of the most lauded culture writers alive. From our current issue, this is André 3000 and Hanif Abdurraqib on freedom, fame, flutes, and the burning question: 'You gonna put some beats on that shit?'

to the harvest flies, the jar flies, the tree crickets. Whatever the heck you grew up calling cicadas, the bugs are here belting out their love song. And y'all, thanks for LOVING our "It Might Get Loud" tee. We've added it to our regular collection and we're currently sending it around the world. For real, we're on our third reprint! 

P.S. Don't forget to take a look through our bargain basement. Lots of great finds for only $10!
