GQ Style catches up with André 3000 for its holiday 2017 issue. Jason Nocito photographs the entertainer for the feature. André wears designer pieces as well as his own André 3000 Benjamin line and Tretorn shoe collaboration. The singer also talks to GQ Style about the prospects of making new music.

Actually, I hate going to the studio, confesses André. So what’s got me going once again is me being excited about other artists. I’ve been working on producing a few artists. A couple projects. André continues, But here’s the crazy thing: I don’t have the pulse anymore. Rhythms change every generation. The intensity and the drums change. And I’m not on the pulse. I can’t pretend. It’s kinda like watching your uncle dance. So the only thing I can do is this kind of novelty, off thing for them.
