2013 Freshman Logic Signs With Def Jam

I hadn’t heard about Logic until I saw him on the 2013 XXL Freshmen cover. The Baltimore, Maryland emcee makes a huge move today with signing to Def Jam records, HHDX reports. That’s not all — The Visionary Music Group artist’s debut album will be executive produced by the legendary No I.D.

Says Logic:

“I’m excited to take this next step in my career. It’s incredible for Def Jam [Records] and Visionary Music Group to work together and the opportunity to collaborate with a living legend like No I.D. is priceless. I’m very humbled to be apart of the most iconic hip hop label of all time.”

No I.D.:

“Logic has a great future ahead and we are happy to have him at Def Jam. He has the talent to be a great artist and make a strong presence in our industry.”

Logic is set to release his new mixtape Young Sinatra: Welcome To Forever on May 7.
