About a week ago I downloaded about sixty new Logic songs onto my phone, and while I was in California this weekend for a lacrosse tournament I put them on shuffle, and one really stood out. It’s called Young Jedi, it’s a tight pump up song by Logic, featuring Dizzy Wright. This song not only is a sick pump up song, but a good mellow song as well, especially during Dizzy Wright’s part. Though this song isn’t very traditional, by that I mean that it doesn’t have a hook or chorus, it still has some sick flow and clever lines. It also has a sick beat and it always drops at a perfect time in relation with the lyrics, which I think is very important. I also think that that is an important trait in an artist. If you aren’t able deliver clever and flowy lyrics during a part with no background music or when the beat drops, then it takes away from the overall ill rating of the song. It’s almost like a turnoff… This is one of the reasons why I like Logic so much. Anyway, for the best lyrics of this song I choose the opening part of the song. It’s just so sick, starting off with some background rapping and then Logic coming in saying “Back again like I never left, Young Sinatra that’s till the death. We turnt up till we go deaf, rep Rattpack till my last breath.” perfectly timed to when the beat drops. The beginning gives me chills and gets me pumped up every time. The explicitness in this song is pretty mellow, it has a couple swear words, some small, indirect drug and sexual reference, but nothing too bad at all. Sadly, there’s no music video for this song, but the audio video has a cool background image, as do many other of his songs without a music video have.

Some More About The Artists
Since I have done plenty of songs by Logic, my favorite rapper, already, I am going to focus more on Dizzy Wright. However, if you want to learn more about Logic and the Rattpack, check out my second blog post World Wide, or go to this link, where you can learn all about his new album and its creation. La’Reonte Wright, better known as Dizzy Wright, is a twenty four year old rapper from Flint, Michigan. Wright has spent most of his life rapping, considering that he started when he was eight. Throughout high school we would open concerts and finally signed with a rapper named Hopsin on Hopsin's independent record label Funk Volume. He later went on to release his debut album SmokeOut Conversations, followed by The First Agreement. After that, The Golden Age a mix tape, and State of Mind, an EP that reached number fifty-four on the Billboard 200. Dizzy Wright has never been one of my favorite rappers, due to his dark influences from Hopsin, though recently I have been listening to more of his music and it is definitely growing on me. For my blog, as always, thanks for reading and let me know about any suggestions or anything like that. Also, let me know what you think of the new colors and layout I have been playing around with.
