Bobby Tarantino II

Logic

Hip-Hop/Rap - Released March 9, 2018 | Def Jam Recordings

Hi-Res
After the consecration, it's time for some recreation. Logic rounded off 2017 with an authoritative statement of the same stature as Everybody, his third gold record in a row. Almost without fanfare, the Maryland rapper brought out the immensely successful 1-800-273-8255 with its commentary on the younger generation's suicidal tendencies. The whole album aims to be a wake-up call for society, an artistic response from the middle class to the violence of Trump's election.On Bobby Valentino, the second volume in his series of mixtapes, the direction is very different. The introduction sets the tone with Rick & Morty, characters from a sci-fi cartoon series, debating on the feeling of ennui they get from listening to Logic's music. This offbeat humour is present throughout the project, with liberating gags and lyrical puns. Where Everybody, had Logic in the role of the politically-aware orator, here he has deconstructed his thinking, giving it a mischievous edge without spilling over into provocation.Flanked by his producer 6ix, Logic is making conscious music which still stays out in front of contemporary sounds. Indeed, that's often exactly what he is criticised for: lacking identity of his own and taking the fire of Kendrick Lamar or Drake's entrancing melodies. But taken as a whole, the rapper's productions always represent perfectly-judged surgical strikes. Take, for example, the brilliantly made 44 more, a kind of CV: a 44-bar couplet that showcases Logic's utterly versatile skill. And don't forget Indica Badu, his sweet collaboration with the underrated Wiz Khalifa, who is always up for this type of adventure with Bobby Tarantino II, and Logic gives him permission to cut loose, revealing a more hedonistic side of his personality. This little break is the best entry point to learn to love his music, which remains little-known on this side of the Atlantic. © Aurélien Chapuis/Qobuz

Bobby Tarantino

Logic

Hip-Hop/Rap - Released July 1, 2016 | Def Jam Recordings

After topping the R&B/Hip-Hop charts in 2015 with his sci-fi concept sophomore album, The Incredible True Story, Logic returned the following year with his fifth mixtape, Bobby Tarantino. His seventh release in as many years and fifth mixtape overall, Bobby Tarantino arrived unexpectedly in July on Def Jam/Visionary Music Group. Even without prior notice, it debuted at number 16 on the Billboard 200. Featuring "Flexicution," his first Billboard Hot 100 solo single, the mixtape also featured spots by Pusha T ("Wrist"), Juicy J ("Super Mario World"), and vocals from Jessica Andren, John Lindahl, and George DeNoto.© Neil Z.

Bobby Tarantino III

Logic

Hip-Hop/Rap - Released July 30, 2021 | Def Jam Recordings

Hi-Res
In July of 2020, rapper Logic announced he'd be retiring from music with the release of his sixth album, No Pressure. The record was one of his more fully formed statements, and it was a commercial success as well, debuting at number two on the Billboard charts. Less than a year after retiring (and not including various spin-off projects and music made in that time under different aliases), Logic announced his return to music and began releasing new singles. Bobby Tarantino III is his seventh mixtape, and the third and final installment of his ongoing Bobby Tarantino series. The previously released single "Vaccine" is an exciting rush of fast rapping, a sinister chorus, and a spacy, synth-heavy beat. Jazzy trap track "Inside" is another invigorating moment on BT3, with Logic delivering lyrics about anxiety and insecurity about how his music is received, the song bolstered by a gorgeous sung chorus from Cynthia Erivo, the tape's only featured guest. Many of the 12 tracks take slightly different approaches, to varying degrees of success. Both the throwback beat and hooky bass line of "Theme for the People" and the upbeat, sample-driven "God Might Judge" are energetic standout tracks. Forays into pop are less interesting, like the plodding "Get Up" or '90s-tinged "Call Me." Songs like these and several others on BT3 take a while to get started and add to the overall disjointed flow of the project. Where No Pressure felt like a fitting note for Logic to go out on, Bobby Tarantino III feels a lot less like an enthusiastic comeback, and more like a few tracks that gathered in the interim between the retirement announcement and the coming-out-of-retirement announcement. © Fred Thomas /TiVo
