COMPLEX CREATIVE @DJMISSMILAN If you’ve seen a Doechii performance, then you’ve seen a DJ Miss Milan performance.  Miss Milan grew up in New York City with aspirations of being the next Beyoncé. Her on-stage ambitions were realized through DJing, and after quitting her bartending job to fully commit to being a DJ in 2017, things started to fall into place. Complex spoke to Miss Milan about her unreplicable chemistry with Doechii, her love for live performance, and the importance of true passion and community.  LINK IN @COMPLEXINPRINT BIO FOR THE FULL INTERVIEW Interview by @risa__yeong @complexinprint Images via Getty Follow @complexinprint for more.

COMPLEX CREATIVE @AMDVISUALS If you’ve seen Lil Yachty’s music video for ‘A Cold Sunday’, or Drake and Yachty’s Futuremood conversation on a beach, or Yachty’s vlog series, The Boat Show, then you’ve seen the work of Ari Mairena-Dannon.  Complex spoke to AMD about what it takes to be a rapper’s go-to cameraman and director, his advice to young creatives, and what it was like being the first director under Cole Bennett’s production company, Lyrical Lemonade.  LINK IN @COMPLEXINPRINT BIO FOR THE FULL INTERVIEW.

COMPLEX CREATIVES @TJ.SAW1 & @ELLIOTHENSFORD Over the years of working together, TJ Sawyerr and Elliot Hensford have built a distinct visual language, learned the ins and outs of the industry, and exchanged knowledge with each other, allowing for a completely fluid and trusting relationship. Their individual and collaborative work caught the eye of director Simon Chasalow—a US-based mentor to the duo—who entrusted them to the co-creative directors for J. Cole’s ‘Two Six’ music video, the leading song on his final album. LINK IN @COMPLEXINPRINT BIO FOR THE FULL INTERVIEW.

On Feb. 13, 2009, Drake released his breakout mixtape ‘So Far Gone,’ catapulting the Young Money protégé to mainstream stardom practically overnight. The money, cars, and clothes (“I suppose”) all came with that success, but Drake remained calm when it mattered most. Back in 2010, we caught up with Drake in the midst of this whirlwind, just months before dropping his official debut album ‘Thank Me Later.’ Reflecting on his iconic mixtape in his first Complex Cover, ‘So Far Gone’ celebrates its 17-year anniversary today—laying the foundation for Drizzy’s “Successful” career.
