Contractual shackles with major label Def Jam haven’t stopped Maryland rapper Logic from being a creative and prolific entry into the industry. One of his best albums “Vinyl Days” was recorded in 12 days, and the author himself constantly developed his YouTube channel and released bittapes under the pseudonym Peanuts.
Feeling an acute thirst to create and an unmeasurable love for hip-hop, the rapper presents his first album as an independent artist. The work “College Park” is the soundtrack to the animated film of the same name and is inspired by the author’s memories of the past – spending time in the town of College Park, located in his home state. Now he appears as a world star, combining boastful lines about success with introspective narration of the old days.
A wide number of performers and other cultural figures took part in the recording of the album. Among them are Joey Bada$$, Redman, RZA, Bun B, C Dot Castro, as well as Manchester Orchestra frontman Andy Hull and actor Seth MacFarlane.
