Logic is prepping for his Def Jam Recordings major label debut following the release of a handful of mixtapes, including his Young Sinatra trilogy.
In a new track "Driving Ms. Daisy," featuring Childish Gambino, the Maryland-born rapper gives us a taste of the new record.
"I was actually on my headlining tour when I produced and wrote this record in one sitting," he told Billboard. "I was deathly sick and dealing with a lot of problems, not personal so much as business and getting the album ready. I decided to put it on a song, and the fact [that] I produced it made it feel more honest to me. I gave the listener every aspect of my mind on this matter."
The song's lyrics and cover art were inspired by the film Driving Miss Daisy, which he considers a metaphor for his life.
"It's a play on the movie, where I feel like I'm Morgan Freeman driving and Ms. Daisy is my accomplishments," he says. "I'm driving on the road of success and I'm so focused on the destination that sometimes I forget to enjoy the view along the way and the 'company' in the backseat."
He also told Billboard about getting his friend Childish Gambino on the record.
"I actually sent the record to Gambino for fun, more like, 'hey, check out this song I'm working on.' He really liked it. He liked it so much I said, 'hell, you wanna hop on it?'" he shares. "We had talked about doing a record in the past but it didn't pan out. Him and Fam -- who he works with closely -- really liked it and made it happen. He doesn't do a lot of features so it was dope to not only do a song with the homie, but someone I'm a fan of!"
Logic's No I.D.-produced debut album is due out sometime this fall.
