DX: How did that initial conversation with No I.D. go down? What did he say to you?
Logic: Before the deal or after the deal? Because he told me two different things.
DX: Tell me both.
Logic: Before the deal, No I.D. knows exactly what he wants. We were in New York City, and he was like, Tell me what you want, and well do everything to make it work. When he said that I was like, Oh, sh-t. I remember after the deal, I came to LA in his studio for the very first time and kind of asking why he signed me. I remember the first time, and obviously I dont know if you know this, but he was like, Because youre creative, its Hip Hop from the 90s, and you can create modern commercial records without sacrificing who you are. When he said that, I knew he was the man for the job.
I asked him again in a way with more detail, and I asked him to expressnot as executive No I.D., but the producer No I.D.why he signed me. I cant believe he said this, and Ill never forget it. He said, Jay-Z, Kanye [West], Common, Nasall these people Ive worked with have had very long, extensive careers, and were going into another era in Hip Hop. I call it the second renaissance of Hip Hop. I feel like the Golden Era in the 90s was the first renaissance and people like J. Cole, Kendrick [Lamar], and Drake are honing in on this new era. Im blessed to say Im one of those people helping that cause. He said to me, Nas, Jay and all of them are at their highest point and are still going, but theres going to be a time when the younger ones will be in their position. And I feel youre going to be one of them, and I wanted to make sure I had a stamp and be involved.
