Said Logic: "I'm truly excited to begin my new creative partnership with UMPG. My conversations with Jody Gerson,
David Gray, and those who I have met thus far have been inspiring and I know they will be a fantastic help to bringing my creative visions to life."
"Logic is a supremely creative artist and songwriter with a tremendous work ethic. From his earliest days creating mixtapes, he's grown into a superstar who has conquered writing, rapping, singing, producing and beyond," said

Logic first burst into the music scene through a series of mixtapes including Young, Broke, and Infamous (2010); Young Sinatra (2011); Young Sinatra: Undeniable (2012); and Young Sinatra: Welcome to Forever (2013) - which garnered millions of downloads and streams. Overlapping with his studio albums, he has continued to create hugely successful mixtapes including
Bobby Tarantino (2016, with the RIAA gold "Flexicution") and
Bobby Tarantino II (2018).
In April 2019,
