Logic has admitted to “half-assing” the last songs he needed put out to get out of his deal with Def Jam Recordings.
On a skit from his new joint album with Juicy J, Live and in Color, Logic sits down with the Three 6 Mafia legend to have a reflective and honest discussion about being good friends, producing and putting their all into their music.
"I don’t half-ass anything," claimed Logic towards the end of the "Discussion 4" skit. "The only time I ever half-assed some shyt was when I was trying to get out of my Def Jam deal. I was like, take these songs and get the fukk out of here."
Logic has been openly critical of Def Jam in the past. In 2022, he called out the record label because he thought they messed up his release plans.
"Def Jam, why you fukking up my releases, man?" he said in a video. “First of all, I love you Tunji. Tunji’s my guy, he ain’t got nothing to do with this. What the fukk is going on, man? I told Def Jam that I wanted to release my shyt as a two-pack and I just found out that they’re releasing it as two singles at the same time. What kind of shyt is that?"
That same year, he released his last album with Def Jam, Vinyl Days, which he created in 12 days. In an appearance on the Impaulsive podcast, Logic confirmed its speedy creation was because he wanted to leave the record label.
"I made that album in 12 days so I could get off Def Jam," he said. "That’s my favorite part – I’m off Def Jam. I made that album so I could leave, and guess what? I left them with some of the dopest shyt I could give them.
