Wow…I’m at a loss for words with the most recent release off of Logic’s upcoming mixtape, ‘Welcome To Forever’ entitled ‘Nasty’. This song is impossible not to immediately put under the category of “Best Songs of 2013” already. The beat is a banger, incorporating a 1970’s like chant of the word “Nasty!” in the background. Produced by the legendary Don Cannon, the beat has a hard hitting snare drum and bass that complements the entire track. The piano medley adds an entire new element to the song when you hear it behind the lyrical talent of the Maryland MC. There is a point when the beat drops out near the end and is replaced by a heartbeat, over which Logic implements spine-chilling lyrics.
Logic – ‘Welcome To Forever’ Artwork
Just recently Logic signed to Def Jam Records and assured his fans that, “Ain’t nothing change but the bank account.” Which is welcomed with open arms by any hip-hop fan, as we have all seen mainstream industry reflect poorly on artists and completely diminish what they once were. Especially when Hip-hop artist ‘Wax’, who was signed by Def Jam, recently disbanded from the label partially because he wasn’t happy with the amount of freedom they allowed him with his music. Let’s all just hope he’s not lying and will stick to the strong hip-hop roots that we’ve come to know and love him for. Being a lifetime fan of his music myself, it is honestly amazing to finally see him get signed and get the recognition he’s always deserved. Check out the new song and definitely get the new mixtape, ‘Welcome to Forever’ on May 7th.
Peace and Love,
