Be undeniable. Thats the message TJ Hickey delivered with his latest piece of work bearing the same name. The album is an eclectic compilation of phenomenal collaborations with talented artists and producers across the board. The self titled track featuring Devvon Terrell can make the hair stand up on your neck as the message is one most of us can relate to. Skip a few tracks deeper into the album and you will find ‘Like The Weekend’, a soothing collaboration with soulful singer Jared Evan and renowned hippy Mod Sun. And if you’re looking for the party anthem that you are accustomed to getting from TJ, check out track three, ‘Do It For The Story’, which was produced by the very talented Kavalier. The 13 track album also features Cam Meekins, Futuristic, and Jitta On The Track as well as some amazing producers.
Hip-Hop, Interviews, Videos | Logic – Young Sinatra: Undeniable [Exclusive Interview]

A couple weeks back I had the opportunity to meet Logic, interview him, and see him perform as the headliner at a benefit concert for the Dance For Paralysis foundation. Above and beyond that, Logic brought the new age of hip-hop into one of the most storied restaurant franchises, The Hard Rock Cafe, and left his heart on the stage. Prior to the show, I sat down with Logic and asked him anything and everything from growing up, to passion for Frank Sinatra, to Kevin Durant’s tweets, to his favorite color. For all those responses and more, watch the video above. What you may or may not extract from the interview is Logic’s sincerity, passion, love, devotion, appreciation and respect for all, molded into the articulate and professional young man and artist he has become. Truly the most personable and enjoyable interview I have ever conducted.
Hip-Hop, Mixtapes | Logic – Young Sinatra: Undeniable [Mixtape]

“I used to follow my dreams, until I caught up to them” – Logic
Word association. I say “Logic”, you say …? Lyrics, versatility, confidence? Those are just a few of the 22 year old’s most distinguished characteristics.
I was first introduced to Logic by Chris Zarou last July when he signed an independent record deal with Visionary Music Group. Christening my ears withLogic’s debut mixtape, Young, Broke, & Infamous, it was evident the young Maryland MC bolstered a repertoire unlike any other up and coming hip-hop artist. Mainstream beats, lyrics with a deeper flavor than seven layer lasagna, & a repeated intellectual and versatile flow. At that time, Logic had a slim 1,500 Facebook fans and a couple thousand Twitter followers. With very little blog coverage at that time, college sites began to join the movement which sparked a very successful sophomore mixtape, Young Sintra. Playing off his idol, the great Frank Sinatra, Logic’s fan base (shout out #RattPack & #BobbySoxers) was steadily growing. Logic has said Young Sinatra was a representation of the transformation of him turning from a boy into the young man he is today. Keeping the core values consistent with Young, Broke, & Infamous, Logic offered more originality and even more versatility. Serving up a blend of tracks for the streets, the avid fan of lyricism, college students, and even the fine groupie women (Bobby Soxer’s).

I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again, Logic has become one of the hottest up and coming hip-hop artists in the game over the past several months as he prepares for the release of his junior mixtape, Young Sintra: Undeniable. Anyone who has been following Logic since the beginning knows this series, Just Another Day, has been something Logic started several months back. There has been such a long delay since episode 9 because episode 10 is a culmination of footage showcasing Logic creating Young Sintra: Undeniable from start to finish. Writing, recording, mixing, mastering, collaborating, recording videos, rocking shows, are some of the things we see in this video. I’ll stand by this til the end of time in saying this will be one of the best mixtapes of the year, hands down. Prepare yourselves for the official release next Monday April 30th. Shout out to GRVTY for a undeniable videography as always! #Undeniable
P.S. Logic x FNT Interview coming this week!
