Sir Robert Bryson Hall II aka Logic didn't want to leave the rap game with a good album, he was a bit inconsistent with the rest of his career, so he decides to definitely return from his retirement. After releasing a mixtape that sucked even by his standards under a new moniker, he comes back with that of Bobby Tarantino that brought him so much success in the past and that he hasn't dusted off since when he still had a reputation in rap [albeit a meager and declining one] and trap was still a thing.
Trapped in a deal that allowed him to make millions and become one of the most respected streamed rappers of his generation, Logic decides to step out of the up-to-this-moment-beloved Def Jam with this mixtape, the third installment of his Bobby Tarantino series, presumably the last one, since a corpse / zombie is coming out of ehm, the asphalt (?), after his car burned out falling into... the asphalt? What the? Either way, the cover is far better than anything you'll hear here.
This dude pulls out a tape consisting of 10 random tracks + 2 skits that finds a hot spot on the full-bodied worst side of his discography: the trap production is scarce and poor, the lyricism is light-hearted, as his flow slowly and weakly falls halfway between the Migos and hundreds of other pop rappers. From a commercial point of view, Logic wants it to be as less successful as possible, and manages to be right for once: the tape rivals "Supermarket" to be his least favorite on the charts, faring better on the pop chart, but worse on the lower ones. The whole project is rushed, effortless, never inspired, trivially one of the worst half-hour tapes released in the last three years in hip-hop. Waste of time, to avoid, 3/10.
