GQ's new ‘Legacy Project' is a way for them to highlight musicians and entertainers that have made a difference in the past 12 months. On that list GQ included artists, such as Pharrell, Iggy Azalea, Stevie Wonder and none other than Diplo.
“The music world is still the most innovative, energizing, and eclectic slice of the American-pop-culture pie. But what artists should a man actually be listening to right now? And who will we still be listening to ten, twenty, and even fifty years from now? As the 2015 Grammys approach, we take a look at the music makers who, this year, left something lasting behind,” wrote GQ.
GQ wrote that Diplo is known for being “such a good DJ that EDM girls in bikinis can’t resist twerking while he spins records at his Mad Decent Block Parties. But what you can't Google Image is the fact that when the pop world—from Beyoncé to Madonna—needs innovative new sounds, he's the man they call.”
