Logic has shared some views on rap, explaining that he doesn’t see it as a contest because he wants everyone in the game to succeed.
In a new freestyle titled “Like a Playwright” delivered on his Instagram, Logic, donning a bathrobe, spits about how he’s a rapper by day but a “dad by night,” and that everyone should spend time with their families this holiday season.

“Logic known for telling stories like a playwright/ Stay Black brothers and sisters is how we stay right,” Logic raps. “It’s that midnight maurader shit/ Flow seamless over the beats it’s kinda like a partnership/I never even thought of it/ ‘Cause see for me it’s not a contest/ I want all my brothers to win, all my brothers to win.”

The new rap also hears Logic shout out his son Bobby, who he’s been teaching to produce over the past few months. The Maryland rapper posted a video to his Instagram back in November that shows him handing a drum kit off to his two-year-old son, whom he welcomed in 2020 with wife Brittney Noell.
“Just press these here,” Logic says to his boy in the clip, who is toying around with the different buttons. “Just the colors baby.”

Three 6 Mafia’s Juicy J was seemingly impressed with what he saw, hopping in the comments section to inquire about purchasing a beat from Logic’s son. “Mane that’s dope tell lil Bobby I need a beat for my new album,” he wrote.
Logic’s latest Instagram bars comes after he wrapped on his North American Vinyl Verse Tour with Wiz Khalifa earlier this year. The tour kicked off on July 27 and concluded in St. Louis, Missouri on September 2. 24kGoldn, DJ Drama, Fedd The God and C Dot Castro also appeared at numerous stops along the way, with Berner and Rubi Rose performing on a few select dates as well.

The tour was in support of Logic’s album Vinyl Days, which dropped on June 17, and features appearances from Action Bronson, Russ, Curren$y, RZA, AZ, The Game and others. The project marked his final Def Jam release, which he left earlier this year in favor of a deal at BMG that would allow him to own his masters.
The move to BMG serves as Logic’s first label change since dropping his debut album, Under Pressure, on Def Jam in 2014.

“There’s a lot of bullshit in the music industry,” Logic said of the move in a statement. “I’m just glad to move on to a place where I can be independent and respected as an artist, and feel like I’m in control of my career.”
Meanwhile, Logic recently recruited Grammy-award-winning singer-songwriter Norah Jones to help him with an acoustic rendition of his hit song “Fade Away.”
The rapper joined Jones on her Norah Jones is Playing Along podcast, where the pair spoke and created intimate, stripped-back versions of the rapper’s tracks.
A video for their rendition of “Fade Away” was released on Tuesday (December 27) — watch it here.

“Fade Away” was the third single to appear on Logic’s blockbuster sophomore effort The Incredible True Story, which debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 and was eventually certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).
