First mixtape for Robert Bryson Hall II, a nearly 20-year-old boy homeless after running away from home a few years earlier, who will be launched in the rap game when he shortens his moniker from Psychological, which gives the title to this eponymous tape, to simple Logic. There's some healthy East Coast boom bap, some quotable lines, decent rapping technique by this MC, albeit still rough of course, and some decent tracks: "95' Tip" I think it stands among the others, thanks to a dry boom bap, dry, clean, glossy, with lean and syncopated drum machine, tightly looped sample in the background, vintage cut, good smoothness rapping. Most of the songs are mediocre, decent at first listen, but quite weak in the following ones, also due to the absence of the mixing: in any case, the mixtape is a success that allows him to open several concerts in Maryland for rappers of the caliber of EPMD, Redman and Method Man, some of his major sources of inspiration for making music, and convinces him to continue on the rap road by publishing his second tape the following year, a good springboard for his career. Not recommended, 4/10.
