In advance of this release, Logic has teased this album with a selection of singles such as “Wake Up,” “Paradise II” featuring Norah Jones, “Highlife,” including a video directed by actor and filmmaker Kevin Smith and finally “Lightsabers,” which he performed on Jimmy Kimmel Live! this week.
College Park represents Logic’s journey to date and simultaneously celebrates a new beginning.
The album title is a nod to the town in Maryland where he spent a year sleeping on a couch in his friend Big Lenbo’s basement, waking up every morning to write and record raps.
Logic weaves through an autobiographical tale in College Park, as he chronicles a day of his life in 2011, that peaks with his first-ever live performance in Washington D.C.
Following a 10-year stint with Def Jam Records, Logic has taken a leap to the independent side and partnered with BMG for his latest release.
Through a diverse range of hip-hop and scripted scenes, Logic reflects on his life and career to date, interlaced with the subtexts of starting a new chapter.
From sleeping on couches to headlining arenas, this album is not only a look back on his trajectory, but also a commentary on what comes with success.
Additional features include Seth MacFarlane, Joey Bada$$, RZA, Statik Selektah, Redman, Fat Trel and Bun B.
Logic’s impact in music, and beyond, is undeniable.
Following an emotional performance of his single “1-800-273-8255” at the 2017 MTV Video Music Awards, calls to that number — which connects callers to the U.S. National Suicide Prevention Lifeline — increased by 50%, according to the organization.
A study from the British Medical Association reported, that in addition to soliciting almost 10,000 more calls to the Lifeline, the performance can also be tied to a 5.5% reduction in suicide rates among 10-19-year-olds.
