Chance The Rapper & The Weeknd Cover GQ Magazine
GQ's February double cover features two of the world's biggest musicians: Chance the Rapper and The Weeknd.
With his third mixtape, Coloring Book, Lil Chano gave USA joy in a dark year, blessing us with good vibes and hard bars. His ascent from Chicago local hero to world-stage rapper has been marked by his refreshing, carefree optimism and socially conscious heroics—all done without the support of a record label. In conversation with Mark Anthony Green, Chance touches on why he always rocks the cap, his embarrassing Facebook videos from high school, and whether he should actually be called Chance the Artist.
On the flip side, The Weeknd's parallel rise couldn't be more different, transforming from Toronto's sexy sad-boy crooner to the spiritual successor to the King of Pop (but still sexy and sad). With 2015's spiritual album of the year, Beauty Behind the Madness, The Weeknd began his transition toward pop stardom. By the time chart-breaking Starboy dropped a year later, that metamorphosis was complete. In Devin Friedman's profile, The Weeknd talks about sex (of course), marriage, and chopping off his iconic hairdo.
