Logic Reflects On How Far He’s Come With Gratitude in a Dazzling Lyrical Display (Audio)

In an era that has de-emphasized lyricism in favor of big tracks and even bigger hooks, Logic is an outlier. The Gaithersburg, Maryland MC has distinguished himself with rapid-fire, complex wordplay that often also includes an autobiographical message. Despite his boyish looks, he’s endured unthinkable hardships from watching his father struggle with substance addiction to having to process the rapes of both his mother and sister. So, now that he’s achieved some success, he’s taking some time to reflect on his blessings.

“Like Woah,” the second release from Logic’s forthcoming The Incredible True Story LP, is a study in contrasts. The track with its airy flutes, rhythm guitar and bongos could pass for easy listening, as an instrumental. However, Logic attacks the beat with confidence and aggression using a double-time flow to emphasize just how amazing life has become, and he’s not taking it for granted. He looks around, takes stock and expresses his gratitude, all while being amazed, like woah…Take a listen to the celebration.
