Listen to Logic’s latest single Therapy Music.
“Therapy Music,” the third single from Logic’s 2022 album Vinyl Days, is a means for Logic and Atlanta musician Russ to let everything out on their thoughts.
Logic, in particular, appears to have regained his mojo, which is excellent news because he’s working on the new album titled Vinyl Days. If the new single that’s any indication of the tone on the album, it appears like Logic has been blasting “Lofi Beats To Study To” and gathering his finest stuff to deal with the criticism to his previous albums. Although he seemed dissatisfied with the response to his previous attempts to raise awareness on mental health, he may rest assured that those efforts had some good influence.
The two rap on all life has tossed into them in a healthy release, with extended verses of just lines and no chorus.
Logic’s verse includes lots of references, including Eminem. At the end of his verse, he raps: “Still at the top, where I been at? Eight Miles from the surface of Earth, feelin’ Infinite.”
Eminem’s Oscar-winning film “8 Mile” and his debut album, “Infinite,” are obviously referenced in the statement.
In an interview on DJ Whoo Kid’s WHOO’s HOUSE podcast, Logic talked about how his Eminem collab “Homicide” came together. “I had that beat and then I just started rapping,” he said. “I was just like, man, that was good, I am just gonna have fun with it. And this is when Paul [Rosenberg] was president of Def Jam at that time and So I was like sh*t ‘let’s pull some strings’. We sent him the record and he got it to Em and obviously, I didn’t expect, Cause I was rapping on that mf. And I got the call that ‘he likes the song, he’s gonna do the song.’ and I was like ‘oh, my god, it’s crazy.’”
He continued, “And then a week later, I got a call that like ‘yo, Em wants you to go open up for him in Hawaii at the stadium. I’m like ‘Oh sh*t.’ So I got out there, I’m nervous, I’m like ‘oh my god.’ I’m so hyped and I’mma meet him, I am like Oh My God. You don’t understand bro, I used to have my sister put Forgot About Dre from the radio to cassette on side A and she would put back and forth all the way on Side A and all the way on Side B and I was rapping over it. That was like my first real memory consuming hip-hop and it was him [Eminem] and Dre.”
So we get there, it’s like all these security guards and they’re all nice. I walk in and see Royce 5’9″ who is the hommie. Wearing his glasses and sh*t. And Alchemist was there. I dab them all and here comes the f**king Eminem with this beard that’s new at that time I’m like ‘woah this is crazy.’ He was so f**king cool bro. He was so humble, He’s like the biggest rap nerd.”
“Em says, I got something and this motherf**ker pulls out a CD and his CD player. In the green room, he plays the song and as he plays, I was like ‘Oh my god, he’s gonna have a verse on here?’ And he killed it. It was a dream come true and absolutely amazing.”
