The one thing we needed to get us through another day (week?… month?… year!?) in quarantine was a new interview from , one of the most electric forces to ever strike the world of hip-hop, and we’ve officially got it.
Everyone’s favorite Wyoming resident met up with GQ Magazine earlier this year for a brand new cover story, which has now been revealed for May 2020.
