Song Choice - Logic 'Gang Related'

Gang Related - Logic

The song 'Gang Related' is from Logic's album Under Pressure that released in 2014. Since then he has released three other albums called: Everybody, Bobby Tarantino, The Incredible True Story. The genre that Logic and his music fits into is rap music, this is based on his background of poverty and drugs so he will often rap about his life. Logic is now a part of Def Jam Recordings as well as Visionary, however at the time of Under Pressure he was solely with Visionary.

Logic often raps about his experiences however he said in an interview "This is a lot bigger than me. I don't want to just rap about me on this album, I want to rap about other people as well". This is where he got the idea to rap from a different perspective, his brothers. "And he told me, and he described it and he painted the picture. I wrote it, and nobody wants to be in the streets. Nobody wants to sell drugs. Nobody want to do that. Let's just be real. And, I wanted to paint the picture of someone who was in the streets who obviously did not want to be there and maybe at times were scared but you have to put up the front."

Gang Related does not have a music video and this is the same with the entirety of the 'Under Pressure' album. This means that for my music video I am not being influenced from the original video like I would have been if I had chosen something different.
