In 2015, Logic featured on New Zealand blues vocalist Gin Wigmore’s ‘Willing To Die’ alongside Hilltop Hoods’ Suffa. The prolific artist has an expansive – and eclectic – discography that encompasses 2019’s outlandish alt-rock foray Supermarket – a companion to his first novel. “Logic will stream weekly on his Twitch channel which will include a mixture of in-studio sessions, special guests, AMA style formats, and gaming.” According to his interview with The Verge, the deal is worth seven figures.
That announcement was swiftly followed up with another from video game streaming giant Twitch, announcing that Logic will be Twitch’s first official, exclusive music partner. Officially announcing my retirement with the release of “No Pressure” executive produced by No I.D.
His fifth and final studio album, No Pressure, will be released this Friday. Last week, the 30-year-old announced his retirement from music, so he can focus on being “a great father”. Logic was meant to finally tour Australia in late 2019 but, with SandTunes cancelled, his dates in Melbourne and Sydney were, too. Despite his easy charm, Logic then fell out with Joyner Lucas – that feud now happily resolved.
When he premiered on Def Jam Recordings with 2014’s Under Pressure, Logic was accused of emulating Kendrick Lamar. The Quentin Tarantino nerd also loves concept projects. Logic is versatile, creating both major crossover hits and underground deep cuts for the hip-hop heads. He has utilised music to explore the paradoxes of his biracial identity and thematised mental wellbeing – something that has resonated with fans. Born to a black father and white mother, Logic endured family dysfunction and poverty in a country with structural inequality and few safety nets. The Maryland, US native long been candid about his life.
