The well known rapper Logic has been a familiar name for nearly a decade now. With two gold certified albums and one platinum, his four studio albums, seven mixtapes, and over twenty singles have been found in the playlists of people all over the world. Not to say he was irrelevant before his previous album, “Everybody,” but this album included one hit track that really stuck with a lot of people; the song entitled 1-800-273-8255 was the key feature in the album that aimed at spreading “peace, love and positivity” to his fans. Logic also dropped Bobby Tarantino II in 2018.

​

In recent news, Logic released the fourth and final project of his Young Sinatra work entitled “Young Sinatra IV” (YSIV). Although the first three were considered mixtapes, YSIV is listed as his fourth studio album.

​

Logic has before mentioned in his songs throughout the years, and different projects, that both he and his fans are aware that he is very versatile in his rap style. Albums like “Everybody” are more “preachy,” while the Young Sinatra line is considered to be more of his “regular rap” style. Logic is known for rapping pretty fast, and this album is no exception.

​

The album starts with “Thank You” which runs at seven minutes and ten seconds. It starts with an intro track of people talking, and the rest of the track is fairly “calm,” although at 2:12 fans can hear a strong similarity in flow, comparing “Thank You” to “1-800-273-8255.” This is pretty common, and Logic seemed to put a lot into this album with his mix of flows, getting himself off the hook.

​

There are 14 tracks, and it would take a while to individually analyze each individually. With Logic, there seems to be a very heavy themes to his raps. He loves to talk about how great of a rapper he is, which is also very common in rap these days. He also talks about his struggles as a child in which he grew up in a very rough situation. This, to me, does not get old, although it may to some. I think this is something that makes a rapper good, actual content to rap about that is meaningful. He also talks about his race a lot, often fans will hear him say something relating to him being biracial.

​

There are a lot of features on this album, some not named. One song that sticks out is “Wu Tang Forever,” in which he pays a small tribute to the hip-hop group Wu-Tang Clan. The song is over eight minutes long and includes ten features. It is more other rappers than logic, but is still a catchy track.

​

The beats are very catchy throughout the album. The 13th track is titled “ICONIC,” in which the beat is heavily sampled from Jaden Smith’s song “ICON” from his 2017 album “SYRE.” It says “(ft. Jaden Smith),” although Jaden Smith talks for a very, very brief moment and you can barely hear him.

​

The last track on the album is titled “Last Call,” in which Logic tells his listeners about how he had always wanted to do a “last call” himself, the way he had heard other artists do when he was growing up. This track is almost eleven minutes long, although the actual rap is not even two minutes long. For the remaining time, Logic proceeds to tell his fans the story of how he got to where he is now in his career. Now, fans have heard it all before with parts of the story mixed throughout all his other work. But, in this instance, he tells a very long story about growing up in a rough household and trying to find his way towards a music career.

​

The album, in my opinion, is a step up from his 2017 album “Everybody.” All around, it has some good tracks, beats, and features. I think he is headed in a direction that will be beneficial to his career because of his enthusiasm and progressing rap style.
