Logic Teams Up With “Clerks” Cast For “Highlife” Music Video

by

Logic has teamed up with Kevin Smith and Jason Mewes for the new music video for his song, “Highlife.” The piece comes less than a year after Logic made an appearance in Smith’s film, Clerks III.

“It was a dream come true working with one of my favorite directors of all time!” Logic commented on the video on YouTube. “Such a fun and feel good song. Stoney bob returns y’all!!!”

“Highlife” will appear on Logic’s forthcoming album College Park, which is due out on February 24, 2023. It follows the release of the first single from the album, “Wake Up.” It will feature RZA, Redman, Joey Bada$$, and more. College Park will mark Logic’s eighth studio album, but his first released independently. The album title is a reference to a town where Logic spent a year sleeping on a friend’s couch.

Logic finished his contract with Def Jam following the release of his previous studio album, Vinyl Days, last year. Speaking on Logan Paul’s Impaulsive podcast at the time, he explained that he harbored no ill will towards the imprint.

“I’m really happy to know that I represented and low-key was the face of the label — one of the illest Hip Hop labels of all time — and that I sold millions and millions of records and gave them billions and billions of streams, and that it was a good partnership,” he said. “And I couldn’t be happier to get the fuck out.”

Logic Cops A New Whip For His Latest Song “Maybach Music”

by

Logic is taking a cue from Rick Ross for his latest single, “Maybach Music.” The Maryland rapper blessed fans with his latest single earlier today.

This morning, the rapper unveiled his latest single, which was recorded in the backseat of a brand new Maybach that he purchased for $325K.” While it would’ve been a great opportunity for him to flaunt his wealth, Logic details the day-to-day struggle of common folk. Logic takes on soulful sample-based production while also showing love to some of hip-hop’s greats, such as J. Dilla and Cypress Hill.

Logic started to apply pressure at the beginning of the year. Just last week, he announced that he’s releasing a new album titled, College Park in February. The new project includes major collaborations beyond some of hip-hop’s favorites.

However, he does have a few heavy-hitters attached to the project like RZA, Bun B, Joey Bada$$, Fat Trel, Statik Selektah, and Redman. However, it’ll also include appearances from Norah Jones and Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane, who Logic confirmed would be singing.

Prior to releasing “Maybach Music,” he dropped off “Wake Up” ft. Lucy Rose and “Insipio.” College Park will mark his follow-up to Vinyl Days, and his beat tape, Peanuts.

Logic’s new album, College Park drops on February 24th. Check out his latest single below and sound off with your thoughts in the comments.

Quotable Lyrics
I never passed tenth grade, but I still get the rent paid
You fake, I B-Real like Cypress Hill, word to Muggs
You fake motherfucker, I can see through you
My game’s strong, you weak like five plus two

Logic Drops First Single, “Wake Up” From Forthcoming Album, “College Park”

by

Logic has flirted with retirement from the rap game before. However, it really seems as though the Maryland native loves hip-hop too much to actually commit to never releasing another album.

On Friday (January 13), the 32-year-old dropped his brand new single, “Wake Up.” Featuring Lucy Rose narrating the outro, the track finds Logic candidly reflecting on his journey and career thus far. He does so in one lengthy, conscious verse.

“I went through the worst, but I made it out / Like the Alpha Omega, to show me which way it could go, yeah, he laid it out / Instead of just sittin’ on a beach, I’m reconnectin’ with the streets / It wasn’t payin’ attention, I was prayin’ for a cent,” raps the future father of two.

“And on a beautiful autumn day in 2011, Logic and his best friends drive through the slums of College Park in a Chevy Impala,” narrates frequent collaborator, Lucy Rose, come the track’s end. She goes on to perfectly paint the picture of Logic’s come-up and success.

The song serves as the first single to his forthcoming album, College Park. It will be his debut independent album, after finishing his contract with Def Jam with last year’s Vinyl Days. The project comes out on February 24 and will feature RZA, Redman, Joey Bada$$ and more.

Furthermore, the single’s album cover is reminiscent of Logic’s classic 2014 album, Under Pressure. It will certainly be interesting to see whether or not College Park follows a similar format.

Quotable Lyrics:

Black man can’t even get himself a Bachelor
Dropped out of school, then he picked up a spatula
‘Cause he never had a good role model, just a hood role model
Now I know that’s the old model, we breakin’ that cycle

College Park is set to arrive less than one year after Logic’s last record, Vinyl Days. The project, which was his final with Def Jam, debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200.

After that album’s release, Logic spoke with NPR about reaching this point in his career, as well as where he goes from here.

“I’ve really amassed such an incredible fan base,” he said. “I’ve been blessed to make the right moves as a businessman. Financially, there’s nothing I need from the music industry anymore. I’ve hit every pinnacle except winning a Grammy, I’ve done that. I’ve been to the awards shows, I’ve won awards, I’ve sold out Madison Square Garden.”

He added: “I would rather have amassed the financial stability that I have, take a U-turn, and make music that maybe isn’t so popular and take a quote/unquote ‘dive’ in my career on purpose – to go out on a stage happy and proud of what I’m doing. I’d rather be hated for who I am than loved for who I’m not.”
