History

Robert "Bobby" Hall would initially garner notoriety with the release of early mixtapes such as Young, Broke and Infamous and his Young Sinatra series of mixtapes, consisting of Young Sinatra, Young Sinatra: Undeniable, and Young Sinatra: Welcome to Forever, released through Visionary Music Group. In 2014, he was signed to major label Def Jam Records where he released his debut studio album Under Pressure.

In 2016, Logic released his third studio album Everybody. Featuring contributions from Killer Mike, Ansel Elgort, Chuck D of Public Enemy, and astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson, it would spawn hit singles such as the title track and "1-800-273-8255" featuring Alessia Cara and Khalid. The latter of the two aforementioned singles was titled after the American National Suicide Prevention Lifeline, which received an increased amount of call and website traffic after its release. Everybody would later be followed up by YSIV, the fourth and final installment of his Young Sinatra series, notably featuring a track with all current Wu-Tang Clan members.

On March 26th, 2019, Logic released his first novel Supermarket under his own name Bobby Hall, alongside a tie-in soundtrack album. Despite the book becoming a New York Times best-seller, both it and the accompanying soundtrack album received mixed to negative reviews.

No Pressure, Retirement, Twitch Deal

“This is the place where if you want to interact with me, you’re going to do it here,”[…] “I’m not going to be on Twitch, having political debates. I’m going to be on Twitch, helping people after they’ve had a day of protesting or political debates, unwind and laugh and smile. And if you want to know how I feel about the world, you listen to my music.”
