LOGIC Vinyl & CDs

Review: American rapper Logic announced his retirement from music in 2020, but returned with this surprise release, College Park, in 2023. For all intents, such a stunt might come across as disingenuous, but it makes sense in Logic's case, as the album is more of a personal paean to Logic's complex and difficult childhood. When the moment comes to revisit your past via your art - regardless of whether you ostensibly "quit" beforehand - you take it. Over the course, Logic leads us by the hand into his hometown of College Park, Maryland, where he took the first steps on his hero's journey into the rap biz. Logic's story is thoroughly emotional, and this is certainly his most personal album yet, with tracks like 'Wake Up' and 'Self Medication' exemplifying the artist's newfound maturity and a full-circle return to earthen realness.
