YSIV by Logic

YSIV (an initialism of Young Sinatra IV) is Logic’s fourth studio album and the fourth (and final) entry in the Young Sinatra series. The album was released on September 28, 2018. This is Logic’s second release of 2018, following Bobby Tarantino II in March, marking the first time he has released two projects in the same year. YSIV is separate from his previously announced album Ultra 85, which is now scrapped. Logic released the album’s lead single, “One Day,” which features Ryan Tedder, on July 27, 2018. He then followed “One Day” with “The Return” on August 24, 2018, aptly titled because it was his official return to the Young Sinatra persona. However, Young Sinatra had already made a return earlier in 2018 when he was ‘featured’ on “Warm It Up.” Following the release of the first two singles, rumors began that Logic was preparing to release a project soon. On August 28, 2018, Logic surprise-released “YSIV Freestyle,” both confirming YSIV’s existence and announcing its release date. Logic released the album’s third single, “Everybody Dies,” on September 7, 2018. Logic revealed the album’s tracklist on social media on September 24, 2018. The fourteen track album boasts features from fellow DMV native Wale, Jaden Smith, and, quite remarkably, the entire living Wu-Tang Clan. Frequent collaborators such as Big Lenbo and Lucy Rose also make appearances. In a post on Instagram, Sam Spratt, who has created all of Logic’s artwork since 2014, revealed that YSIV (along with Bobby Tarantino II and Ultra 85) was hinted at on the cover of Logic’s May 2017 album Everybody. This indicates that all of these projects have been in the works since before May 2017. ℗ 2018 Def Jam Recordings, a division of UMG Recordings, Inc.
