MAGAZINE: Frank Ocean x FADER (Aug/Sept. 2011)

Frank Ocean lands his first magazine cover with FADER magazine for their August/September 2011 issue. His latest success has been his feature on Jay-Z and Kanye West’s Watch The Throne album, on the “No Church In The Wild” and “Made In America” tracks. Check out the remaining cover story spread below:

When he was nine, Frank Ocean’s godfather subscribed him to Robb Report, a magazine for the ultra-rich. Less interested in fiduciary smarts, it’s a catalog of conspicuous consumption, highlighting tropical vacations, invaluable antiques and, as Ocean came to know, really expensive cars. Though he comes from a middle class family, he obsessively read the magazine’s classified ads, fixating on exorbitantly priced used Bentleys and Maybachs. “I would just fall in love with all their cars. That was the start.” Ocean, whowas born Christopher Breaux (and goes by Lonny to friends), downscaled his material desires, and when he was 13, began going door-to-door, detailing cars for cash. “I would bring all my supplies. Literally, it was like a movie, I had a wagon, those long red wagons, like a Radio Flyer-type wagon, and I used to buy my own soaps.”
