Logic did a whole album rapping on J Dilla’s production.
While Logic is working on his next project “College Park”, the rapper reveals he has an entire scrapped album where he was rapping over beats from late producer J Dilla. In a recent livestream, the “Bobby Tarantino” rapper reveals he scrapped the project for personal reasons and not over clearance issues.
“I did a whole J Dilla album but that’s another story for another time,” Logic said. “And it wasn’t nothing with the estate… everything was fine, It’s just… I was like, ‘I’m straight.’ Like, I recorded this whole J Dilla album with all unreleased beats and shit and I was like, ‘I’m okay.’”
Logic then stated that he would rather see someone like Boldy James gets the unreleased beats. “I’d rather see Boldy do it. He’s gonna f**kin’ kill it,” he said. “The fact that I could even rap on it was really good. And who knows, maybe it’ll see the light of day one time. But, we’ll see.”

Boldy James, who was previously featured on J Dilla’s posthumous album Rebirth of Detroit in 2012, announced a Dilla album in a 2022 interview with HipHopDX. “I’ve actually got an announcement to make,” he said. “You talking about they don’t even know what’s about to happen, you don’t even know what’s about to happen. I got a whole entirely produced J Dilla project that I’m about to drop. I would tell you the name of it, but I had to tell you that. I got the last of the Dilla stash.”

“A lot of people owe their success, you know, not owe their success, but he alley-ooped a lot of people’s success,” Boldy continued. The list goes on, I’m not about to start name-dropping, but if you don’t know who this guy is, you need to do your history. J Dilla, Detroit, stand up.”
Logic is currently working with other artists on various projects, including actor Rainn Wilson, who is widely known for his role as Dwight Schrute on The Office. In a video shared on New Year’s Day, Logic showed Wilson using an MPC in the rapper’s home studio, stating “My man is making beats right now, and he’s really snapping.”
