Questlove Supreme has always been committed to giving flowers to the artists who inspire us — whether they’re household names or unsung innovators shaping culture behind the scenes.

These moments highlight the voices and visionaries who’ve changed the game — and who deserve to hear their impact while they can still feel it.
