He’s been featured on Reach affiliated songs, most notably “Live Forever” which also introduced Hulvey who hadn’t been announced yet. Royale was also named a […]

Logic has never been found to shy away from controversial topics, ranging from racism and immigration to relationships and depression, even releasing a song on suicide in 2017 that landed No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100. Although admitting in previous interviews that he is not a religious person and doesn’t believe in organized religion, the second track of his retirement album, No Pressure, has overt theistic themes and discusses God, something he does not do often. “[‘Hit My Line’] is a conversation between me and God and me kinda speaking to the heavens like, ‘Yo, this is what’s going […]

After much inactivity over the last few months, WHATUPRG is seemingly back with a vengeance. He just announced his project New Hollywood will be dropping on September 25th. Then today he revealed that he is no longer with the indie tribe. collective. The move has shocked many fans reacting so far but from a business standpoint makes sense.

For now, this is what we got – […]
