Logic & Dwight From “The Office” Spotted In The Studio Together

by

Logic is certainly no stranger to a fun studio session. Fans consistently get a look into his life and recording process through his YouTube series, Just Another Day.

However, a recent Instagram post shows him in the studio with a rather unexpected collaborator – none other than actor, Rainn Wilson.

The “Everyday” rapper took to his account on Saturday (December 31) to share footage of the surprising duo making music together. “My man is making beats right now and he’s really snapping,” says the 32-year-old. He subsequently shows the actor using an MPC beat-making machine. “Look who stopped by to cook some beets,” he writes in the post’s caption.

Of course, Wilson is best known for playing Dwight Schrute in the comedy series, The Office.

Logic is a documented fan of movies and TV shows. He has even teased about his involvement in various films over the years. In 2018, it was announced that he was set to star in a film produced by J.J. Abrams. However, it’s still yet to see a release and has reportedly been scrapped.

Further showing his passion for motion pictures, the video for his collaboration with Marshmello, “Everyday,” is actually a 10-minute long short film.

Earlier this year, the Maryland native dropped his seventh studio album, Vinyl Days. The monstrous 30-track project shows off his love for old-school boom-bap. Additionally, it finds him spitting verses with a wide array of guests including Wiz Khalifa, RZA and Action Bronson. Furthermore, it features skits from some pop culture figures like J.J. Abrams, Aaron Judge and Anthony Fantano.

It’s certainly not hard to imagine Dwight Schrute delivering an entertaining skit or an intro on a Logic track. We can only hope that we’ll get to hear what they’re making soon.

What do you hope Logic and Rainn Wilson are cooking up? Comment down below. Finally, make sure to stay tuned to HNHH for the latest music and pop culture updates.

Logic Drops “Like A Playwright” Freestyle, Says Rapping Isn’t A Contest For Him

by

He previously announced his plans to retire from the industry. However, Logic didn’t hold back on sharing plenty of new music in 2022. The year started with tracks like “Tetris,” “Decades,” and “Therapy Music” featuring Russ.

Those would all later appear on his Vinyl Days album, which made its mark back in June. Complete with 30 titles, the effort was an incredible arrival from someone who was planning on walking away from it all.

Since then, he’s also been heard on “Tanaka 2” with Joey Valence and Brae, as well as on the reprise of Justice’s “D.A.N.C.E.”

Of course, the “Nikki” rapper couldn’t let 2022 come to a close without flexing his lyrical chops one last time. Earlier this week, Logic delivered a fun-loving new freestyle via Instagram, titled “Like A Playwright.”

“When the vibes is right / Chilling with the homies / Tryna dodge the plight / Rapper by day, but I’m a dad by night / You can have all the money but your time finite,” he cooly rhymes from the comfort of his own home.

Countless friends dropped by the comment section to show love. Among them are Juicy J, Royce da 5’9, and Travis Thompson. “Wassup with them beats tho?” the latter wrote.

Check out Logic’s quick-witted “Like A Playwright” freestyle on Instagram below. Afterward, let us know what you hope to see from the “rapper by day, dad by night” next year in the comments.

Quotable Lyrics:

You know we doing it right
Family over everything is a beautiful sight
Cruising in the Bronco on a Tuesday night
Most don’t live their lives by the rules they write
Rapping through the evening ’till I see the daylight

Logic Shelled Out $100 To Winners Of Impromptu Rock, Paper, Scissors Matchups

In June, Logic spoke with Zane Lowe about the challenges of being a target for internet trolls. “I wanted to step away from the negativity,” he said, in part. “Not like I’m trying to hide from it and this and that, but just like, ‘Dude, I need a break.’” Logic’s online behavior is generally positive, such as his “Like A Playwright” freestyle posted to Instagram this week. Another antidote for internet negativity is spreading holiday cheer IRL, which Logic also did.

On Thursday, December 28, the multiplatinum rapper and best-selling author wandered the streets and offered strangers $100 if they won impromptu rock, paper, scissors matchups. One woman wished Logic a merry Christmas after winning her $100, to which Logic replied, “Happy Kwanzaa!” Another guy couldn’t believe Logic was serious. “Is it for real?” he asked.

Logic responded, “Yeah, yeah. You got it, man. Get out of here. Don’t spend it all on blow. That’s a joke. Could you imagine?”

Hours before that video, Logic also posted an Instagram clip of him bumping into someone named Archie and offering to buy him a Revolvr sweater for Christmas. After that purchase was completed, Logic took him to Lark to shop for crystal candles. Despite Logic’s generosity, Archie still named Future as his favorite rapper. “I love this kid,” Logic said, laughing.

Watch both feel-good videos below.

Logic Shared A Freestyle In Which He Talks About Not Seeing Rap As A Competition

Logic is known to be a wholesome, caring figure in hip-hop, often exploring taboo, emotional topics in his songs. Earlier this year he teamed up with Russ for “Therapy Music,” which openly reckoned with mental health journeys.

He now shared a freestyle called “Like A Playwright” on Instagram. The flow touches on the way he views other rappers as brothers rather than competitors. “Logic known for telling stories like a playwright / Stay Black brothers and sisters is how we stay right,” he raps. “It’s that midnight marauder sh*t / Flow seamless over the beats it’s kinda like a partnership / I never even thought of it / ‘Cause see for me it’s not a contest / I want all my brothers to win, all my brothers to win.”

In June, the rapper talked about the harshness of cyberbullying. “It’s difficult, man, to see people tell you they hope your family dies, and your baby’s ugly, and X, Y, Z, and you deal with that every time you look on the internet,” he said. “I know, it’s messed up, man. Yeah, as human beings. It’s insane to know that a decade ago this isn’t how the internet was. It was actually a much more nicer place. You know what I mean? There were still trolls and stuff… but everything now, how people even discuss or talk about music, ‘Yeah, this was mid.’ What does that even mean?”

Justice’s New Remix Of ‘D.A.N.C.E.’ Featuring Logic Highlights An Upcoming Deluxe Edition Of ‘Cross’

by

The year was 2007 and French house duo Justice were blowing the minds of hipsters and party bros alike. The Bloghouse era was thriving amid the emergence of electro acts like Chromeo, Simian Mobile Disco, and The Bloody Beetroots, and no song was as anthemic for the NYC-born scene quite like Justice’s “D.A.N.C.E.” A rallying cry back to the dance floor; there was a future for the convergence of indie and electro house that wasn’t only up to Daft Punk anymore. The fulcrum of Justice breakthrough album, Cross (spelled out with simply a symbol for a cross; one that the duo accused Justin Bieber of ripping off), “D.A.N.C.E” now has a brand new remix featuring Logic that stands out amid a 15th anniversary Deluxe Edition of the album.

Cross effectively ushered in a new era of DJ culture. Justice’s Xavier De Rosnay and Gaspard Augé became huge and other DJ personalities followed suit. Just as “D.A.N.C.E.” represented the rise of indie-electro, the reprised version with Logic shows how hip-hop eventually seeped into the culture as well. Logic is thrust into the mix, but helps carry the beat as if it were a brand new spin. It’s part of six new tracks in a second disc that features demos and an unreleased Justice track called “Donna.”

Listen to “D.A.N.C.E.” featuring Logic above. Check out the album artwork and tracklist for Cross (Deluxe) below.

Logic Says He Recorded ‘Vinyl Days’ In 12 Days In Order To Fulfill His Deal With Def Jam

by

Logic‘s latest album, Vinyl Days, marks the end of an eight-year journey with Def Jam. In a recent episode of Logan Paul’s Impaulsive podcast, the rapper detailed the creative process behind the album. Most notably, he shared that the album was recorded in less than two weeks.

“I made that album in 12 days so I could get off Def Jam,” he revealed. “That’s my favorite part — I’m off Def Jam. I made that album so I could leave, and guess what? I left them with some of the dopest sh*t I could give them. It’s not like I just wiped my ass. What am I excited about? I’m excited to be independent, I’m excited to do my thing.”

As a newly independent artist, Logic is looking forward to making music without having to deal with any of the politics of a major label. Although it seems he couldn’t wait to put Def Jam behind him, Logic insists that there is no bad between him and the iconic hip-hop label.

“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,” he said, “and that it was a good partnership. And I couldn’t be happier to get the f*ck out.”

Logic Joins BMG After Leaving Def Jam: ‘I’m In Control Of My Career’

A couple of years ago, Kanye West took to Twitter to call out his label Def Jam: “90% of the record contracts on the planet are still on a royalty,” he wrote. “A standard record deal is a trap to NEVER have you recoup, and there’s all these hidden costs like the ‘distribution fees’ many labels put in their contracts to make even more money off our work without even trying.” Logic quickly backed him up, writing that they “owe a few of my folks they money honestly.” Now the “1-800-273-8255” rapper is joining BMG after leaving Def Jam.

With BMG, he has a multi-album partnership, but this time he owns his sound recordings. “There’s a lot of bullsh*t in the music industry,” Logic said in a statement. “I’m just glad to move on to a place where I can be independent and respected as an artist, and feel like I’m in control of my career.”

Senior VP of repertoire and marketing at BMG Tim Reid added, “As an artist, creator and entrepreneur, Logic is the perfect fit for BMG and we are excited to join forces. He has a unique authenticity that has consistently enabled him to remain among the best in the business.”

Logic’s new album, Vinyl Days, is his last under Def Jam. You can get it here.

Logic Discusses The Harshness Of The Internet And Cyberbullying: ‘Dude, I Need A Break’

by

Logic has been open about the topic of mental health — whether that be through his hit “1-800-273-8255” about suicide or his song “Therapy Music” with Russ. Now, on an interview with Apple Music’s Zane Lowe, he discussed the internet and cyberbullying.

He said:

“It’s difficult, man, to see people tell you they hope your family dies, and your baby’s ugly, and X, Y, Z, and you deal with that every time you look on the internet. I know, it’s messed up, man. Yeah, as human beings. It’s insane to know that a decade ago this isn’t how the internet was. It was actually a much more nicer place. You know what I mean? There were still trolls and stuff… but everything now, how people even discuss or talk about music, ‘Yeah, this was mid.’ What does that even mean?”

He added: “Have an opinion. You know what I mean? If somebody’s talking about an artist, ‘Yeah, this is mid. This is kind of ass.’ I’m like, ‘Is that how you talk to your mom?’ When your mom gives you breakfast, ‘Yeah, Mom…’ Who does that… So, I think for me, that’s something that I wanted to do. I wanted to step away from the negativity. Not like I’m trying to hide from it and this and that, but just like, ‘Dude, I need a break.’”
