YSIV (September 2018), the fourth chapter of his Young Sinatra saga, contained “One Day” which Logic performed with Ryan Tedder and over 200 immigrant children, their siblings and parents at the MTV VMAs. Overlapping Logic’s albums were new mixtapes Bobby Tarantino (2016, with the RIAA gold single “Flexicution”), and Bobby Tarantino II (2018, with the RIAA platinum “44 More” and “Everyday”). Logic kept up the pace with his second album, The Incredible True Story (2015, with the RIAA gold “Fade Away”), followed by Everybody (2017), containing the landmark 5x-platinum “ 1-80” (National Suicide Prevention Lifeline) featuring Alessia Cara and Khalid. They jumpstarted a worldwide tour that led up to his record deal with Def Jam Recordings in 2014, and the release of his debut album Under Pressure that year. Those tapes – Young, Broke, and Infamous (2010) Young Sinatra (2011) Young Sinatra: Undeniable (2012) and Young Sinatra: Welcome to Forever (2013) – garnered millions of downloads and streams. Multi-platinum, Grammy Nominated artist Logic (aka Sir Robert Bryson Hall II, aka Bobby Hall) – among the top streaming artists in the world with billions of streams to date – burst onto the music scene through a series of mixtapes that led to a significant, rabid underground fanbase.
The music is on par, lyrically, with the best material Logic has released throughout the past six years, and the Maryland rapper is keenly aware this is it.” “Logic’s No Pressure does what all retirement albums should aspire to accomplish: conclude a rapper’s career on a high note. “…Logic at his finest, raging with righteous indignation and heightened melodic skills.” His passion and talent are evident in all the sonic aspects of the album, from his double-timed flows to his melodic offerings and engaging lyricism.” “The 15 tracks that comprise No Pressure is a reminder of the Maryland-native’s pure skill and dedication to the craft. “Logic’s contribution to hip-hop is deep-rooted in inclusivity and compassion, and ‘No Pressure’ continues the trend even as he bids farewell to the art form that raised him and gave him a platform to speak his truth.”
