Logic unleashes new album “Ultra 85.”
Logic continues putting out new material as he finally releases his brand new album titled “Ultra 85”. This is his ninth studio album, and a follow up to his 2023 album “College Park.”
The project comes with a pack of 20 tracks, including previously released tracks “Mission Control“, “Deja Vu”, “44ever” and “Fear.” The guest appearances comes from T Man The Wizard, DJ Drama, Lucy Rose, Robert Ivory, Zelooperz and more.
The album was first teased over seven years ago during “Everybody” album release, which fans assumed would be his last. “I think I just didn’t feel like it. I was gonna do it, and then it just became this thing where I was like, “Y’know what? I don’t think I wanna do that next, I think I’d rather do more of a concept of the state of mainstream media in hip-hop.”” he told Stereogum. “So if you listen to the album that came after that, Confessions Of A Dangerous Mind, that was fun, because I was kind of playing different characters. And then after that, I ended up doing No Pressure. And so somewhere in between all of that shit, I’ve been working on Ultra that whole time. But then I think it became this lore for my fans, it became even bigger than what I had thought, y’know, where they were expecting it and they wanted it.”
He continued: “And then in my mind, I was like, “Well, sh-t, I don’t wanna do it.” I don’t wanna do something just because people want it, which I know sounds crazy, and I don’t mean that in any negligent way as far as my fans. But if I’m not ready to put my all into something, then why would I do it? And I really love this album, because it’s a true farewell to this era in my life. From the kid that was coming up in the basement to this. This is the most Logic album you’re gonna get from me. If you love Logic you’re gonna love it, and if you hate Logic you’re gonna hate it. It’s almost like opening up a journal of the last 15 years of my life, basically, and kind of putting a button on all the things, a button on the story of Thomas and Kai. After this, I’m just gonna be making beats and just doing whatever. I’m working on an album with Seth MacFarlane so that’ll be fun. But yeah, so long story short, why did it take so long? Because I didn’t feel like it [laughs].”
