Six days after coming out on Tumblr, Frank Ocean dropped Channel Orange and rewrote the rules of R&B. On this episode of 50 for 50, we trace Christopher Breaux's journey from a Subway sandwich maker to a Grammy-winning genre-bender — the Odd Future years, the Bieber and Jay-Z/Kanye writing credits, the making of Channel Orange with Malay at EastWest Studios, a full track-by-track breakdown, the Album of the Year snub to Mumford & Sons, and the lasting influence he had on SZA, Khalid, Daniel Caesar, and a generation of genre-fluid artists.
