Nearly ten years since Logic released his debut album Under Pressure in October 2014, the prolific emcee-producer has unveiled his highly-anticipated ninth studio LP Ultra 85. A concept album that functions as a sequel to The Incredible True Story (2015) and Everybody (2017), the ambitiously conceived, 77-minute-long Ultra 85 coincides with the forthcoming publishing of Logic’s sci-fi novel of the same name, scheduled for September 17th.

“Ultra 85 is finally here, I can’t believe it,” Logic confides. “Long career. Long time. Great fans. Good family. Enjoy the album. It’s everything to me. It’s the button on my career. After this, I’m just rapping about cream cheese and bagels and stuff.”

Featuring collaborations with DJ Drama, Robert Ivory and Lucy Rose, among others, Ultra 85 is preceded by the official singles and accompanying visuals for “Fear,” “44ever” and “Deja Vu.”
