Black History Month: Logic

Sir Robert Bryson, also known as “Logic”, is a singer, rapper, songwriter,  and record producer who is part African-American from his father side, and Caucasian from his mother side. Logic grew up in a terrible house environment, his father suffered from a cocaine addiction, his mother suffered from alcoholism, and his brothers would produce and sell cocaine in the block, including to their father. Logic was then expelled from school in 10th grade after skipping class so much. Although Logic grew up in a tough environment and had a rough childhood, he began gaining interest in music. He than began making mixtapes and then later on released albums. In his music he talks about many important issues. His music talks about equality towards all people, no matter what race, religion, gender, sexuality, disability, etc. he believes everyone deserves to be treated equal. In one of his most recent and famous songs called “1-800-273-8255”, also known as the suicide hotline, he talks about a very underrated but serious and common issue today, which is suicide. In the music video he includes a gay teen going through so much for being himself, he gets kicked out of home after his dad finds out that he’s gay, he gets bullied at school, and after so much he wants to commit suicide but something makes him reconsider, in the end he reunites with his father and ends up getting married and having a kid. The song and the music video helped so many people dealing with the same/similar things and saved so many people from committing suicide. In his other songs like “Black Spiderman” and “Everybody” he talks about equality and racism which has also impacted and inspired many people. Overall, Logic’s music has many important messages that have impacted people and is bringing positive change. We can all say that he has become successful after all he’s been through and brings honor to not just the African American community, but to everyone.
