Logic Shares The Release Date For His Seventh Album, ‘Vinyl Days’
Ahead of his upcoming Vinyl Verse Tour with Wiz Khalifa, Logic will drop his seventh studio album, Vinyl Days next month. The album follows Logic’s January announcement of him coming out of his rap retirement.
Earlier this year, Logic teased the tracks “Breath Control,” along with Vinyl Days‘ title track. This month, he released “Therapy Music,” which features Russ. On “Therapy Music,” Logic raps, “I keep my ego in check, just me and this instrumental pumpin’ through this cassette deck / Money don’t represent my rank / Yeah, Logic rose from jack but even the Titanic sank / I seen cats with egos bigger than cruise ships lose it / Gain power and abuse it.”
Last month, he dropped a double single, comprised of the tracks “Tetris” and “Decades.” This came after a public dispute with Def Jam, who originally planned to release them as two standalone singles. “What the f*ck is going on, man? I told Def Jam that I wanted to release my sh*t as a two-pack,” Logic said in an Instagram video, “and I just found out that they’re releasing it as two singles at the same time. What kind of sh*t is that?… I care about my fans, man. I care about hip-hop. I care about music.”
Fortunately, it seems Logic got his way after all.

Logic And Russ Clear Their Heads With Some ‘Therapy Music’
In all the talk about whether Jack Harlow has surpassed Lil Dicky’s career aspirations (and how he definitely surpassed Asher Roth’s), we’ve all been overlooking two very important members of the melanin-challenged rappers’ coalition: Logic and Russ. Fortunately, they’ve both returned to remind us they deserve consideration too — and, happily, they’ve done so on the same track. “Therapy Music” finds the Def Jam lyricist recruiting the indie champion for a throwback, boom-bap production to address their personal mental health journeys with some extremely flexy raps.
Logic particularly sounds revitalized, which is a good thing, since he’s working on a new album called Vinyl Days. If the new track is any indication of the sound on that project, it looks like Logic has been blasting “Lofi Beats To Study To” and collecting his best material to address the backlash against his prior albums. But although he does sound disappointed in the reception to his prior efforts to talk about mental health, he can at least rest easy in the knowledge that those efforts at least had some positive impact.
Meanwhile, Russ, one of Uproxx’s latest cover stars, is launching his own label, seeking yet another route to disrupt the music industry and return power to the hands of the artists.

Logic to Def Jam: “Why You F**king Up My Releases?
Logic just dropped off a new single but he doesn’t seem pleased with how Def Jam is operating. The rapper called out the label but says the label’s CEO Tunji Balogun is not at fault in a video on social media.
“Def Jam, why you fucking up my releases, man?” Logic opened. “First of all, I love you Tunji. Tunji’s my guy, he ain’t got nothing to do with this. What the fuck is going on? I told Def Jam that I wanted to release my shit as a two-pack and I just found out that they’re releasing it as two singles at the same time. What kind of shit is that?”
Logic pulled back the curtain and revealed that his music videos were delayed in an effort to not upset partners. Logic would fire back at that as well. “I don’t give a fuck about none of that shit. I care about my fans, man. I care about hip-hop. I are about music.”
You can hear it from him below.

Logic Rips Def Jam for ‘Fucking Up’ His Releases: ‘I Care About My Fans’
Logic Blasts Def Jam Over Single Releases
Logic is putting his label on blast.
After coming out of retirement last year, the Maryland rapper is doing things on his terms. Taking to Instagram on Thursday, he called out his label over the rollout of his two new songs, “Decades” and “Tetris.”
“Def Jam, why you fu**in’ up my releases?” he asked. “I told Def Jam that I wanted to release my shit as a two-pack and I just found out that they’re releasing it as two singles at the same time. What kind of shit is that?”
According to Logic, the label advised him not to release his “Tetris” video early on YouTube because it could upset the other streaming partners and look like he was giving them an exclusive.
But Logic said he no longer wants to play by the industry rules. “I don’t give a f**k about none of that shit. I care about my fans, man. I care about hip-hop, I care about music, and I’ma be honest, years ago, I was playing that game,” he said. “I had my baby, I had my wife, I am blessed, bro, I made it. And now that I’m here at this place, I ain’t taking nobody’s shit.”
He later warned, “Def Jam, do not f**k up my shit.”
Despite Logic’s wishes, “Decades” and “Tetris” were released to streaming platforms as separate singles instead of as a two-pack.
Logic is now readying his new album Vinyl Days for release in June. He will also hit the road with Wiz Khalifa on their co-headlining “Vinyl Verse Tour,” which kicks off July 27 in Irvine, Calif.
