Logic Explains Using Rhymes To Speak On Race, Poverty & Building The Ratt Pack
Logic has had a lot of great features on some well-known music sites. Last month, HipHopDX talked to Logic about “how he went from being an opening act fighting for respect to packing venues for headliners.” It is a must read if you’re a fan.
It’s been said that “where there is no struggle there is no strength,” and if that’s the case then this Maryland rapper, Logic, must be one of the strongest people alive. From birth he was hurled into a world of adversity and the cruel realities of drugs, poverty and racism stared right in his eyes from the very moment he would first open them. Things that could have made him weak only made him stronger, and what should have made him a mere statistic turned him into a role model for others.

Name: Logic (Young Sinatra)
Age: 22
Reppin’: Maryland
My style and/or skills have been compared to: Well, to be honest, we live in an era where everyone feels the need to compare. I’ve gotten Drake because I sing, Mac Miller because my skin is white even though my father is Black, and J. Cole because of my raw lyricism. However when its all said and done I am Logic.

AllHipHop Interviews Logic
Hailing from the DMV, more specifically Maryland, 22-year-old rapper Logic has been steadily cranking out music over the past couple of years that, at times, makes you feel like you’re back in ’96. The funny thing about it, though, is that’s precisely his goal.
Never one to conform to “what’s hot” or “what’s buzzing,” Logic has been inspired by the Hip-Hop that helped redefine the genre and culture throughout the 1990s. Artists and groups like Nas, Wu-Tang, Jay-Z, and Gangstarr, are all influences of the young rapper, who has found a way to combine what he loved about each artist and give you something that is raw, lyrical, innovative, and fresh, while at the same time being 150% Logic.
AllHipHop.com spoke to the newly anointed Breeding Ground artist to hear his story, discover his inspirations, and find out what’s to come in the future from the Maryland native. Find out below:
AllHipHop.com: When did you first fall in love with Hip-Hop and decide that you wanted to be a rapper?
Logic: Well, I first started for real when I was about 15 years old. I don’t know if you’ve ever seen the movie Kill Bill, but the whole score is done by RZA from Wu-Tang. I didn’t really know Wu-Tang. I mean, don’t get me wrong, I knew your Nas’ and your Biggie’s and stuff but I wasn’t really that big into it. I always loved the music but when I listened to the score, I was into Anime and Kung-Fu movies and stuff and when I heard that I was just like “wow!” The combination of Kung-Fu and Rap blew me away so I started listening to RZA, Raekwon, GZA, Ol’ Dirty Bastard, Inspectah Deck, everybody, and it just opened up a whole new life for me, I guess.

Logic Interviewed by TheCOHH
Curators of Hip Hop interviews Logic and 6ix of The Official about the upcoming third mixtape, Logic’s sound and drive. We caught with them in 6ix parents living room that they turned into a make shift studio for 4 days. Follow us on twitter @TheCOHH, @ Logic301 and @TheOfficial6.
Curators of Hip Hop got lucky enough to sit down with 6ix of The Official and Logic. Logic and 6ix started off by talking about their sound and production process. 6ix talks about the importance of a sample on a track and 6ix mentions how for Young Sinatra he had sent up to 100 beats to Logic and only 5 or 6 beats were actually featured on the project. It seems like both 6ix and Logic have improved greatly as producers in the last couple of months. Logic and 6ix also touch upon the versatility in Logic’s music. And to finish the video of they talk about Logic’s new mixtape. Get ready for Spring, Logic is about become your favorite rapper if he isn’t already. Shout out to @TheCOHH.
Throwback Live Footage/Interview in NY (YesGoodMusic)
On December 27th, 2011 Logic performed in front of the biggest crowd to date. Although he had the opening spot for this specific concert, he stayed true to his lyrics from “All I Do”:
“The second I jump on a stage, I’m rocking it, ain’t nobody stopping it
Whoever goes on after me, I’m sorry, ain’t topping it.”
Logic killed it and definitely won over most of the crowd. A good artist is not only able to drop solid music, but is able to be put on stage in front of a crowd of people who don’t know the artist and win over new fans. That is what Logic does at each show. I was lucky enough to see him in both Brooklyn and New York City and at both concerts, Logic put on a hell of a show. He was cut short at Brooklyn, but he still put in a ton of energy into each song and delivered a short, yet memorable performance. At New York City, almost all of the crowd was attending the show to see the mash-up DJ’s, The White Panda. Even with the headliner being DJs, the young sinatra rapper had the crowd hyped up. Watch the video I recorded above of Logic performing “Mind Of Logic” and rapping the third verse over Kid Cudi’s dope beat “Day N’ Nite”. Also hit the jump to check out some great footage from his Brooklyn show and a interview I did over on my music site YGM (check @YesGoodJustin’s write up on Logic on YGM).
