With the artist noting that he has over a handful of albums ready to go in the stash, his journey back to the basics will likely be met with much glee from fans if executed correctly. Even in doing so, he's recalling the first ever installment in the series from 2011 through an intricately-drawn piece of himself in mugshot mode, holding up a sign with the album's release date. Logic can get pretty creative with his album covers but for the return of Young Sinatra, he wanted to keep things simple. During the "YSIV Freestyle," Bobby Tarantino announced the release date for his next project and today, we're getting a first look at the cover art he will be using this time around. Anybody that has been neutral about Logic's foray into a more mainstream sound will be happy to hear about his intentions to take things back to the beginning. When Logic announced he would be dropping a new album at the end of September, he did so the only way he knows how: with bars. It’d be easier to believe if he wasn’t having so much fun.Logic's album cover is a "simple throwback to the beginning." Logic reveals the Young Sinatra 4 cover art featuring a hand-drawn mug shot referencing Frank Sinatras 1938 arrest. The cover’s artwork resembles this image from Wes Anderson’s The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou. Logic has stated that films like Interstellar were a huge inspiration when writing the script of his concept Album ‘The Incredible True Story’. At various times during YSIV, Logic swears this is his last Young Sinatra album. The Incredible True Story is a Hip-Hop Si-Fi Album. Old-school heads will salute him for assembling the entire Wu-Tang Clan (Jackpot Scotty Wotty fills in for the late ODB) on “Wu Tang Forever.” And, this being a Logic joint, there’s lots of philosophizing, too, especially about self-identity, dreams, and gratefulness (“One Day,” “The Glorious Five,” “Thank You,” “Legacy”). YSIV, his fourth under the Young Sinatra moniker, continues the theme, flowing over Incredible Bongo Band breaks on “100 Miles and Running” and giving Nas and AZ's “Life's a Bitch” chorus new life on “YSIV.” “ICONIC” and “The Return” find Logic hungrily attacking the tracks, showing off his rapid-fire dexterity. Logics lyrics are solid but not anything incredible (for the most part), his flows are great. This is the first of 4 young sinatra projects Logic would go on to release and it sets the tone very well. It seemed there was a great tape dropping all the time. About Album: Over three mixtapes, Logic's alter ego, Young Sinatra, allowed the Maryland MC to indulge in his deepest boom-bap fantasies, embracing the lyrical grace and raw beats of rap's vaunted late-'80s/early-'90s golden era. The early 2010s was a fantastic time for mixtapes.
