What influenced this change in creative direction? I want to create another world with my music. about humanity and how much we should care about each other. I saw Interstellar in the Chinese Theater in Hollywood, it was amazing it really made me emotional it made me cry in several scenes. They talk about a place that I feel we really are going-that if we don't take care of our planet, and don't take care of ourselves, we are going to destroy everything that we have. They talk about women, they talk about unprotected sex, and they talk about how we destroyed Earth. There are a million in one things talk about. “They're going to say they hate you, they love you, they this, they that, but at the end of the day no matter what, I have to be confident in myself as a man and an artist.” Logic no longer cares about the critics or proving his “blackness,” he has pushed these limitations aside and embraced his love for anime, science fiction, and cinema to dream up his own world. “I realized that everybody is a critic,” he tells me at the Manhattan listening event for his new album, The Incredible True Story.
It's been a year since that release, and Logic has changed. Although he had lived through hell, his appearance suggested different.

With his fair skin and blue eyes, to many hip-hop fans he was just another “white” rapper trying too hard. It left critics unimpressed, saying he was all style, no substance. The album told his story, that of a biracial kid growing up in the projects with an alcoholic mother and an absent father. It featured Big Sean and Childish Gambino, and showcased his aggressive flow over colorful beats and lush synths. Maryland rapper Logic made his commercial debut with his album Under Pressure, released via Def Jam/Visionary Music Group, back in October 2014.
