Killa, JuJu and the A$AP Mob graced the pages of GQ magazine‘s new Harlem Reshuffled spread.

Ever since Duke Ellington first tickled the ivories north of 110th Street, Harlem has been one of the liveliest neighborhoods in New York. And now it’s on a whole new creative streak: Artists are setting up shop, restaurants are popping up faster than you can do the Harlem Shake, and bands—hip-hop, jazz, rock—play at more than just the Apollo (which, for the record, is still booking epic shows). Here, our favorite locals suit up and take us on a tour of the new uptown.

Rap Legends Are The New Jazz Giants

Meet: Cam’ron, rapper, and JuJu, Instagram all-star
Their World: He’s been rapping about his hometown hood since his Dipset crew broke big—and his career’s been resurgent since he got with JuJu and started posting their sexed-up antics online.
What You Can Learn From Cam’s Style: A double-breasted suit is still the baller move for date night at a lounge like Ginny’s Supper Club (left) or a bar like 67 Orange Street.

Shirt, $250 by John Varvatos

The Hood is Still Giving Rise to New Dynasties

Meet: the A$AP Mob: (clockwise from bottom left) A$AP Rocky, Illz, Bari, Yams, Ant, Twelvyy, Nast, and Ferg
Their World: Though the crew are climbing the hip-hop heap, they haven’t forgotten where they’re from. “Harlem has always been known for its swagger and pizzazz,” says Rocky, perched here at the Apollo. “I get my high-end look downtown, but my street style comes from uptown.”
What you can Learn from the A$AP Mob’s Style: When you’re the hottest crew in Harlem, you don’t need a tie.
