It’s not likely to change the world, but it feels much more natural that having the star of “The Fault In Our Stars” sing a weepy, auto-tuned verse about cell phone addiction, which actually took place on “Everybody.” The songs are short on what sanctimonious detractors would call “messages,” but the freedom and airy feel of the whole album gives Logic the room to imbue the beats with his personality.Ģ Chainz delivers what is one of the mixtape’s best and most energized verses on “State of Emergency,” rattling o acronyms with enough air to make the audience want him to stick around just a bit longer.

He’s the only rapper who could conceivably score an omnipresent megahit based around the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline and tweet a picture of himself enthusiastically gearing up to play Dungeons & Dragons in the same year.
