Logic Breaks Down 6 Things to Know About Him

To the general public, Logic is still pretty unknown. That’s why Billboard asked Logic to offer six things to know about him and his seemingly surprising come-up. Check em out below.

1. Don’t judge him by the way he looks.

"I’m biracial, but it’s not about being black, it’s not about being white, it’s about me being a person of mixed race and being proud of who I am. When you get into this game it’s such an image thing: everybody is like ‘he’s corny because he’s white’ or whatever, so on my mixtapes I was like, ‘Fuck you guys.’ I’m proud to be who I am."

2. His childhood was rough…

"I come from low income housing, Section 8, welfare, [and] food stamps. It was definitely a crazy life and that’s what you’re going to be hearing on this album. I have seven brothers and sisters and I’m the only one who looks white because my mother has had children by all black men and then my father has children with other women as well. The crazy part is my mother, she was prejudiced. She was racist — but why would she have children by black men? Exactly. It’s very weird. When I was a young boy, there was a lot of mental anguish that she would inflict on me. She stayed in the house all day, popped pills, and drank. One minute she was a bible thumper and then the next she’s cursing up a storm. She would talk to me when I was only like 6 years old and go into detail about the times that she was raped. I left home when I was 17 years old because she’s got a lot of fucking problems. I don’t talk to her now — I haven’t talked to her since I was 21."

3. …but music is his therapy.

"A lot of shit didn’t make sense [in my childhood], but I was just like alright, I’m just gonna write these raps, I’m not gonna pay too much attention to all this. The album was extremely therapeutic because I get to be honest, I get to talk about who I am, where I come from. On the song "Buried Alive," it’s almost like the instrumental is a therapist. My dad felt a certain way about hearing the album at first but I really didn’t give a damn because it wasn’t about him, it wasn’t even about me: It was just about telling a story that hopefully the listener can relate to. It’s so somebody who may have been in my situation can understand it’s not as bleak as it may seem."
