Kevin Reed | Entertainment Editor<\/span><\/p>\n Logic started off his rap career in Rockville, Maryland, growing up a biracial child with a dream. He was able to rise out of his hometown and become one of the most inspirational rappers in the game today. He\u2019s grown his career not only by rapping about his life growing up, but also how he wants to spread a message of equality through his music. He recently put out a new mixtape album as a follow up to his \u201cBobby Tarantino,\u201d released in 2016, called \u201cBobby Tarantino II.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n In contrast to his past music<\/span>, <\/span><\/i>his newest album \u201cBobby Tarantino II\u201d was produced to be a more lighthearted theme in a trap mixtape style. It may be more fun, but the album is still full of meaningful messages. Logic reinvents how to settle disagreements with competition in \u201cYuck,\u201d<\/span> with lines such as, \u201c<\/span>Anyone that hate me, I wish you success.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Logic has always been big on celebrities making cameos in his music, including world renowned astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson, amazing voice actor Steve Blum, Killer Mike, Lucy Rose and many more. In the intro track to \u201cBobby Tarantino II,\u201d you hear the voices of popular Comedy Central characters Rick and Morty. I couldn’t help but smile when I listened to their voices in \u201cGrandpa\u2019s Spaceship.\u201d It was, in my opinion, the best way to open up a feel good album.<\/span> He also collaborates with artists like Wiz Khalifa, 2 Chainz, Big Sean and other hip-hop artists. <\/span><\/p>\n Logic has a motto he follows throughout all of his recent music: \u201cPeace, Love and Positivity.\u201d He aims to send this message in many of his songs. In \u201cBobby Tarantino II\u201d he works out the positivity side by making tracks that are feel good jams and not as heavy as some of his past music. Even when addressing his own conflict with other rappers, he takes the higher road. This approach is unheard of to many other rappers in the game currently. Hip-hop has a reputation of people like Drake and Meek Mill fighting it out in a series of roast tracks, or other rappers getting into fistfights at concerts. However, Logic wishes his competitors success in the future. <\/span><\/p>\n \u201cBobby Tarantino II\u201d is a great feel-good hip-hop album. Logic\u2019s overall flow and lyrics combine in a great way with the trap beats. I personally jam to this on my way to classes all the time. I was impressed with how Logic showed he could create both serious tracks like \u201c<\/span>1-800-273-8255\u201d and more fun tracks like \u201cIndica Badu.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n \u201c44 more\u201d<\/span> is an absolute masterpiece and I recommend listening to that track first. I always look forward to Logic’s new music and I\u2019m very impressed with this new album. I am excited for when he releases his upcoming projects. <\/span><\/p>\n Contact the author at<\/span><\/i> kreed17@mail.wou.edu<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n Photo by:\u00a0Genius.com<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Kevin Reed | Entertainment Editor Logic started off his rap career in Rockville, Maryland, growing up a biracial child with a dream.
