This concept was inspired by the short story " The Egg" by Andy Weir, with the interlude track "Waiting Room" retelling this narrative. Later, he finds out that the deal involves living the lives of every single human being, to move on to the afterlife. God informs him the only way he can move into the afterlife is if he can complete reincarnation into another life, to which Atom agrees. It is explained that Atom dies in a car accident, and speaks with God upon arrival to Heaven. Logic further elaborated on the album's concept in a subsequent YouTube video, revealing astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson would star as God, and former San Francisco radio personality Big Von would play the protagonist Atom. Logic also conducted a contest for a fan to be painted on the album cover, which was won by a fan named Josh suffering with osteogenesis imperfecta. The album's cover art was painted by Sam Spratt, who used The Wedding at Cana, painted by Paolo Veronese as an example. This rationale supposedly caused Logic to alter the title of the album, although, he retained the name for the final song on the album. cultural evolution we all have so many different ethnicities in our blood, no matter how pure we think we are." The album's title received controversy upon release, with many voicing their displeasure at Logic's inclusion of the word " Aryan", and the historical connotations regarding the word. So essentially the entire album is about the duality of man.On October 3, 2016, Logic revealed a working title of the album to be called AfricAryaN, stating the title was due to "being black and white, and seeing life from two sides. The song under pressure has two parts, the first half is me being under pressure as Logic, while the second half is me being under Pressure as Bobby, The picture you see was painted by Sam Spratt and incredible artist from NYC, he re created the place in Lenny’s basement where it all started, I gave him a collection of various old photos from different angles of the old place and he got it right to every last detail, so the day one fans will remember and enjoy.Īs for the album titled under pressure is the title track on the album, I produced and wrote it while I was on tour with kid Cudi, I had named the song under pressure on the road, but it wasn’t until I came home that I realized how important the song was, it was the FIRST song that not only began the album process but showed me the direction I was going. Anyone who knows me knows I love all music, from the raw hip hop to the fun shit they play at parties, but I decided to make a very “classic” hip hop album, I wanted to RAP, my fan base is huge it stretches across the globe, but no matter how famous you get someone out there still has no clue who you are, so for those that discover me from this album I wanted then to go “oh okay I get it!” They will immediately know who I am and understand the message in my music.
I could have done one of two main things when creating the album. The entire album is about the two sides of myself.
I always knew I wanted that feel you see in the detail, the half dark half bright and beautiful look. The album title and artwork came effortlessly but it was a journey getting there. Illustrated by Sam Spratt, here’s the cover to his freshman offering, Under Pressure.
No date has been announced yet for Logic’s Def Jam debut, but the wheels are already in motion.
