Logic says substance rap ‘doesn’t pay the bills’
Logic reckons that his recent project Ultra 85 was a very important work for him personally, yet it did not produce the monetary reward he expected. He was en route to Detroit when he ran into TMZ journalists and revealed his plans to make more groovier, ‘turn up’ music in the style of the likes of Playboi Carti.
“What I’ve noticed is I’ve been on a run of doing super-Hip Hop music — that shit doesn’t pay the bills at all,” Logic explained.
“It’s because I made all my money before, doing pop and turn-up shit, and then I’ve been blessed enough to be a musician, to be able to make music from my heart. But next year I’mma fuck ’em up. I’m about to drop all this Playboi Carti trap, turn-up shit, and go get a bag and have fun.”
He continued, “I did my best, and I feel like it’s important to speak from the heart. But it’s okay to get money, too.”
