Logic has stayed on a good path for years with strong albums and singles, and College Park continues that trend.

This album is like a lot of other Logic albums, but more complex in many ways.  He mixes up tempos throughout the song, he throws in beat switches, and he features many different artists. 

This album also adds something a little different: Snippets of Logic and his friends talking at the beginning and end of songs to give off the vibe of being in college and having fun. This project also offers Logic slowing down his music more than he ever has.  

He has great features on more than half of the songs. Some of the best features on the album are Andy Hull, RZA, and Redman, as well as C Dot Castro, who makes two appearances on the album. These features really complement Logic’s fast and upbeat style of music. They add a whole different tempo to the songs, switching up the overall vibe of the songs to make them more relaxing – which is different from most of Logic’s music. 

Logic mixes it up with fast-paced songs like “Wake Up” and “Insipio.” But he also adds much slower songs like “Self Medication” and “Cruisin Through the Universe.” This is what has made Logic so successful over the years: He switches up his style of music on his tracks and that makes it enjoyable for any listener.  

This album definitely shows Logic still has some life left in the music industry. He will surprise a lot of listeners on how good and complex the album actually is.
