Thundercat just covered Crack Magazine Issue 173 (2025), fronting their end-of-year issue as the main cover star.
The feature dives into his “multitude of lives” as a bassist, singer, producer, and modern funk-jazz wizard, reflecting on grief, growth since It Is What It Is, and how he balances cartoon-level humor with deeply emotional music. Styled in avant-garde looks with bold hair and makeup by @dreadgodz, the shoot leans into his anime, sci-fi, and bass-nerd persona while cementing him as one of the most influential genre-bending Black musicians of his era.
