Logic's second studio album The Incredible True Story was released in November 2015, receiving mostly positive reviews from critics. Billboard 200, eventually becoming certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and having sold more than 171,000 copies. He later released his debut studio album Under Pressure in October 2014, which debuted at number four on the U.S. His fourth mixtape, Young Sinatra: Welcome to Forever (2013), was released to critical acclaim, and allowed Logic to secure a recording contract with Def Jam Recordings. He signed with Visionary Music Group, before releasing three more mixtapes over three years. Raised in Gaithersburg, Maryland, Logic developed an interest in music as a teenager, and ventured into a musical career in early 2009 releasing Logic: The Mixtape under the name 'Psychological', and releasing a mixtape titled Young, Broke & Infamous in 2010. Sir Robert Bryson Hall II (born January 22, 1990), known by his stage name Logic, is an American rapper, singer, songwriter, and record producer. In a way, with all its emphasis on over-achievement and a continuous supply of re-recounted autobiographical content, YSIV can be as mind-numbing as the mumble rap Logic rails against, but the proficiency and fervor are indisputable To paraphrase Thundercat, Logic is out here probably doing the most. (This is an album that features the entire Wu-Tang Clan on one track and a public appeal for a Jay-Z collaboration on another.) Listening to Logic can feel like waking up on a Saturday morning and scrolling through a social media feed dominated by one friend who has posts time-stamped between 6:00 and 10:00 from the gym, grocer, park, brunch spot, and bakery (including a gratuitous if eloquent focaccia dis).

What comes through most is Logic's self-acknowledged eminence, an abundance of lyrical and sonic references to what he calls 'real rap,' and an insatiable eagerness. Just as much emotion is felt in 'Legacy,' in which he portrays the father, child, and mother of a broken family, and in 'Street Dreams II,' an action-packed adventure that owes more to Kool G Rap than to Nas - albeit with a twist, and with undervalued producer 6ix as his sidekick. His hard-fought ascent and dream fulfillment inform much more than that track, most poignant when he zeroes in on his absent-turned-nagging father and vows to break the cycle by being an engaged provider for his future children. At the same time, he acknowledges the 'catastrophe'-to-'masterpiece' transition of his life from his humble beginning to stardom.

That goes for his rapid-fire flow as much as his lack of free time, utilized and referenced early in 'Everybody Dies,' where he asserts his evident all-purpose approach with 'I do it for the boom-bap, the trap, and the radio,' and brags about having five albums and a book in the chamber.

YSIV ties up the series with Logic sounding busier than ever.

Whereas the first three Sinatra releases were tapes, this one is designated an album, coincidentally the rapper's fourth. On the heels of those triumphs, Logic issued the commercial mixtape Bobby Tarantino II the following March - just before Everybody went platinum - and in six months struck again with the concluding fourth volume of his Young Sinatra series. Everybody entered the Billboard 200 at number one, was certified gold within a month, and its '1-80' went Top Five pop and led to the rapper's first Grammy nominations. 4th Studio LP From American Rapper on 2x12' Vinyl.
