#1 Frank Oceans
One of the members of popular rap group Odd Future, Frank Ocean also released a widely awaited album quite recently. Back in 2012 the artist came out in what started as a cryptic Tumblr post and ended with a long, poignant letter about his sexuality. The rapper released his first mixtape in 2011 and received critical acclaim for his work. After this Ocean took on some collaborations with Kanye and Jay-Z before linking up with Tyler, The Creator.
Ocean first appeared in Tyler’s video for single “She” before performing with the Odd Future crew at desert music festival Coachella in 2011. His most recent album Blonde is redefining queer pop culture as he merges themes of spirituality and queerness so effortlessly.
What is so wonderful about Frank Ocean’s coming out story is that he was so widely accepted by the hip hop community when most would think the other would be true. Stars like Jay-Z and Beyonce came out in support of the R&B singer after news came out about his fluctuating sexuality which was a nice bright step for the future.
