Early life and education

Sir Robert Bryson Hall II was born on January 22, 1990, in Rockville, Maryland. He was born to Robert Bryson Hall, a black Maryland native, and a white mother. Between his father and mother, he has seven half-siblings. Logic spent much of his youth in the West Deer Park neighborhood in Gaithersburg, Maryland. His father suffered from a cocaine addiction and his mother from alcoholism. Despite his father initially being absent in his childhood, Logic was able to reconnect with Hall as his rap career developed. During his early adolescent years, Logic witnessed his brothers produce and distribute crack cocaine to "addicts all over the block", including to his father. Logic maintains that because of these experiences he knows how to accurately manufacture and produce crack cocaine .
Logic attended several high schools in Montgomery County, repeatedly moving after being expelled from multiple schools. In the tenth grade, he began missing classes and, after another expulsion, he stopped attending school altogether. Logic later said: "I started doing badly and failed every class but English, so they kicked me out of school, they gave up on me."

2005–2012: Early career and various mixtapes

At the age of 13, Logic met Solomon Taylor, who would soon after become his mentor. Logic became interested in rap and hip-hop after watching the movie Kill Bill: Volume 1, directed by Quentin Tarantino. The film's score was produced by RZA, a member of the hip-hop group Wu-Tang Clan. Following this, Logic began listening to the group, and soon expressed a deep affection for hip-hop. Logic bought the Roots' album Do You Want More?!!!??! later that year, which prompted Taylor to bring Logic a large number of CDs containing instrumental beats, for him to write lyrics over. In 2009, Logic performed under the stage name "Psychological×Psychological24 December 2009 · EPSpotify (search)YouTube Music (search)Tracklist · 12 tracks1Intro (Blow Your Mind)2:182Logic on the Beat2:313Hunger1:054Background Check0:555'95 Tip2:316On Lock2:507A Third Person Story3:028Why Would I Lie3:019Mind of a Maniac3:0610Time I Give2:2311Screwed Up2:5412Lyricism2:42" with Logic describing the name as "one name that really stuck [with me]. I just loved this word because it was about the mind and I knew that's what I wanted my music to consist of; something that really challenges the mind". He released an unofficial mixtape entitled Psychological – Logic: The Mixtape under his original stage name. The mixtape’s success allowed Logic to serve as the opening act for artists like Pitbull, EPMD, Method Man, Redman, and Ludacris at shows all over Maryland. Soon after, he shortened the "Psychological" moniker to "Logic".
Following these initial experiences, Logic released his first official mixtape, Young, Broke & Infamous×Young, Broke & Infamous15 December 2010 · Studio album · Mixtape/StreetSpotifyYouTube Music (search)Tracklist · 19 tracks1Stain in the Game1:512Nothing but a Hero (RMX)3:353Young Sinatra2:464I Want It All3:205I Just Wanna3:096Can I Love3:317Love Jones (skit)0:288Love Jones3:309Give It to Me3:2410Sunny in the Booth (skit)0:2211Growing Pains4:2112Young, Broke & Infamous2:0313Scenario3:1714Ask Em3:4115BackPack2:2916Sellin Drugs3:3617Worthy2:3818WordPlay1:5019Back and Forth2:20, on December 15, 2010. The mixtape was well-received by critics and was the vehicle by which his name grew among hip-hop fans. Chris Zarou, the president of Visionary Music Group, heard the mixtape and signed Logic to the independent label. Upon signing, Logic stated in an interview, "Visionary Music Group is like Roc-A-Fella. Damon Dash, that's like Chris Zarou of Visionary Music Group, I like to see myself as a Jay. In no way am I arrogant or cocky, I have to see it in order to do it. They did it independent and when they signed with a major, they did it the way that they wanted to do it". The mixtape had a confirmed download count of over 300,000 on online mixtape sharing platform DatPiff. Logic released his second mixtape, Young Sinatra×Young Sinatra19 September 2011 · Studio album · Mixtape/StreetSpotify (search)YouTube Music (search)Tracklist · 22 tracks1One2:512Shine On2:48330,0003:094All I Do3:525Sell Out Records1:546Beggin'3:147Mind of Logic4:338Champagne Thoughts (interlude)1:319Are You Ready3:1710Highs & Lows3:1911Addiction4:1412Stewie Griffin2:5613Live on the Air2:4914Young Sinatra II3:1015Juice2:2816Prime3:2017Take It Slow3:3318Let Me Go3:5919Mixed Feelings2:0620Growing Pains II4:5321As I Am4:4022Just Another Day (In My Mind)4:06, in 2011. It served as the first installment in the Young Sinatra chronology, and drew critical acclaim from a variety of publications, including XXL. The songs "All I Do" and "Mind of Logic" specifically touched on Logic's mindset. The former is about Logic's everyday workflow in his personal studio, while the latter serves as a lyrical tour of Logic's mind, discussing his desire to be the greatest. The music video for "All I Do", released on YouTube, gained over a million views in the week following its release.
After the success of these two projects, Logic released his third mixtape, Young Sinatra: Undeniable×Young Sinatra: Undeniable30 April 2012 · Studio album · Mixtape/StreetSpotifyYouTube Music (search)Tracklist · 22 tracks1Inception2:092Set the Tone2:503Dead Presidents III4:434Used to Hate It4:325No Biggie2:006Disgusting3:207Relaxation4:008Tic Tac Toe4:129ThirstMail (skit)1:3610The Spotlight3:0811Life of a Don3:1612We Get High4:1913Numbers4:0014500 Days of Summer3:4515What You Want3:5516Do Ya Like3:3717Aye Girl4:1118Young Sinatra III3:4619All Sinatra Everything5:0320Dear God3:0821I Made It4:0622World Wide7:58, on April 30, 2012. The mixtape was notable for Logic’s dealing with a number of personal issues, including his future, his father's drug use, his expulsion from school, and his mother getting stabbed. Speaking about the mixtape, Logic said, "Fans tend to think that if you fall in love with an artist because he makes this kind of sound [but if he gets] bigger and he grows and [his sound changes, people also think he changes]. But with me, I created all types of sounds from the get-go, so you can never say I'm changing." He commented on the musical aspects of the mixtape, stating, "There's stuff on there for the motherf***ers that don't pay attention to lyrics and just want to have fun, but every line is constructed with such depth that the real lyricists and nitpickers have something to listen to." After the release of Young Sinatra: Undeniable, Logic completed his first national headlining tour, the Visionary Music Group Tour.

Personal life

In 2013, Logic stated that he smoked cannabis while growing up. He was also addicted to cigarettes, dedicating the song "Nikki" from Under Pressure to the subject. He speaks about smoking since the age of 13 and that, while he had attempted to give up marijuana and alcohol, he could not overcome the addiction until the age of 24. He pledged not to smoke another cigarette after the release of Under Pressure. He maintains a YouTube channel where he posts videos about his favorite video games, personal life, behind the scenes, and freestyle raps.
On October 22, 2015, Logic married singer Jessica Andrea. He announced that they had separated in March 2018, and filed for divorce the following month.

Artistry

Logic cites Frank Sinatra as his main inspiration. Sinatra's influence can be seen in several aspects of Logic's persona, with Logic's fans being called the "RattPack" (a play on Sinatra's "Rat Pack" and an acronym for "Real All the Time"). The group initially consisted of Logic's manager Christian Zarou, executive producer 6ix, and rappers C Dot Castro and Big Lenbo. He also describes his female fans as "BobbySoxers", as well as referring to himself as "Young Sinatra×Young Sinatra19 September 2011 · Studio album · Mixtape/StreetSpotify (search)YouTube Music (search)Tracklist · 22 tracks1One2:512Shine On2:48330,0003:094All I Do3:525Sell Out Records1:546Beggin'3:147Mind of Logic4:338Champagne Thoughts (interlude)1:319Are You Ready3:1710Highs & Lows3:1911Addiction4:1412Stewie Griffin2:5613Live on the Air2:4914Young Sinatra II3:1015Juice2:2816Prime3:2017Take It Slow3:3318Let Me Go3:5919Mixed Feelings2:0620Growing Pains II4:5321As I Am4:4022Just Another Day (In My Mind)4:06". As a child, his mother made him watch old black and white movies, which formed his love for the singer. Logic cites Sinatra as instrumental to him being able to carry and articulate himself the way he does, with Logic describing him as an individual who "showcased peace, love, grace, positivity, honor, and valor".
Logic has said that various forms of entertainment across many platforms have influenced him, including music by A Tribe Called Quest, Mos Def, Outkast, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Kendrick Lamar, J. Cole, Drake, Eminem, the Wu-Tang Clan, and films by Quentin Tarantino. In an interview with XXL, Logic stated, "I love all subgenres within hip-hop and all genres of music, and I think that's what allows me to make the music that I do, because of my appreciation for the music."
