A$AP Rocky, the rapper who breaks free from masculinist expectations

"The 15 Years of M" (2/22). Like his peers, the global star grew up in poverty and violence. Yet within his world, the musician stands out. He rejects homophobia, opposes misogyny, embraces being "Mr. Rihanna" and taking care of his children. A Chanel ambassador, he is as much the heir to a Black dandyism as the embodiment of a modern, less constrained masculinity.
