Logic on Tour
The performances of Maryland-bred motormouth MC Logic are the stuff of legend. He's been known to solve a Rubik's Cube while rapping. He's been known to bring fans on stage to rap along. He's been known to spit the lightning-fast verse immortalized on "100 Miles and Running" at ridiculous speeds. And, of course, he performs hits like "1-800-273-8255," "Homicide," "44 More" and "Everyday." Logic manager Chris Zarou turned the MC from freestyling YouTube hopeful to nationally touring artist by the time of his headlining spot on the 2012 Visionary Music Group Tour. He's done multiple treks since, including support on Kid Cudi's The Cud Life tour in 2013, co-headlining with G-Eazy on The Endless Summer tour in 2016 and traveling on his own headlining jaunts.
Logic in Concert
Logic combines technical lyricism and deeply personal storytelling, spinning his life story and formidable skills into a platinum sensation. The artist born Sir Robert Bryson Hall II threads the details of his upbringing into evocative and moving songs: He draws from growing up in poverty in Gaithersburg, Maryland, having parents who've succumbed to substance abuse, having siblings involved in street life and dealing with his own struggles with mental health. Initially falling in love with rap through Wu-Tang Clan and The Roots, Logic began performing and recording as Psychological in 2009. Building independent momentum through touring, mixtapes and an appearance on the 2013 XXL Freshman List, Logic signed to estimable hip-hop label Def Jam for his 2014 debut, Under Pressure, which debuted at No. 4 on Billboard. His third LP, Everybody, featured guests ranging from Killer Mike to Chuck D to Neil deGrasse Tyson. His 2017 single "1-800-273-8255," an anthem promoting the National Suicide Prevention Hotline, was a smash, earning Logic a Grammy nomination for Song of the Year. His fifth album, 2019's Confessions of a Dangerous Mind, debuted at No. 1.
