Logic Returns With Thrilling, Surprise New Track, ‘Intro’
Logic’s return was announced in a letter from his attorney.
In a letter circulated early this morning, Logic announced his return to the rap game with a letter and a new single, “Intro.” The move is surprising for fans of the MC, who took his retirement announcement seriously back in July of 2020.
The letter was sent from Logic’s attorney and said, “WASHINGTON, DC. (June 16,2021) ― The following statement was released today by Logic, through his attorney Paul Rothenberg Partner of Rothenberg, Mohr & Binder, LLP located in NYC, in response to questions about his future career plans: ‘I’m back.’”
Fans of the MC are thrilled to learn that the short-lived retirement was only a brief hiatus. Though the new song didn’t come with any further announcements, the single track is a surprising gift for listeners who haven’t heard from him since his supposedly farewell LP, 2020’s No Pressure.
No Pressure, the 15-track album, marks a full-circle moment for the artist, who reunited in the studio with No I.D. The acclaimed producer not only helmed Logic’s groundbreaking 2014 debut, Under Pressure but also signed the young artist to Def Jam. With additional production from 6IX, No Pressure found the GRAMMY-nominated, multi-platinum artist getting back to his roots and making the music that he loves with “no pressure.”
“This album is a return to form for me. It is a culmination of all the things I’ve learned mentally, spiritually and technically,” said Logic in a statement. “And most important it is an album that is strictly for fans of hip-hop music. It’s an album I’d been planning for years and what I believe to be the perfect farewell.” Luckily for devotees of the MC’s cerebral lyrics and playful sense of humor, No Pressure was less of a send-off than the beginning of a new era in which Logic has removed expectations and stress from his career. In that sense, “Intro” is truly the start of something unexpected and thrilling.
