Logic

FOLLOWING LOGIC: We've been telling you a lot about Def Jam lately, what with the 30th Anniversary Concert and all, and here's a bit more: Steve Bartels and team have another promising release in rapper Logic, whose full-length Under Pressure is in pre-order and due out on 10/21. Early reads suggest the album, which features guest spots from Big Sean and Childish Gambino, could debut with 70k or more. Logic also performed impressively as part of the BET Hip-Hop Awards Cypher (freestyle segment) this week. The Maryland-bred artist's mixtapes (as part of the RattPack collective) have attracted a substantial, ardent following; iTunes comments routinely suggest he'll "save hip-hop." (10/15p)
