Apparently the Grammy nominated, multi-platinum selling rapper is doing it for the boom-bap, trap, the radio and now the paperback, too.

Already cemented as one of the most versatile forces in hip hop, Logic fluently navigates the ever-developing sub-genres of rap music. Regardless of where you land on the Maryland MC, he’ll always hold the eminent title as the first rapper to assemble the entire Wu Tang Clan on a feature track. As of today, he can add another prestigious first to his already impressive resume.

Under the pen name Bobby Hall, the rapper has delivered hip hop’s very first number one novel in the form of ‘Supermarket’. Published by Simon & Schuster, the “mind-bending” novel debuted at the top of The New York Times’ Paperback Trade Fiction Best Sellers list.

Accompanying the novel is the Supermarket (Soundtrack) which further explores Logic’s pop/rock sensibilities and features a very interesting Mac Demarco feature on ‘I’m Probably Gonna Rock Your World’. All this and there’s another album, Confessions of a Dangerous Mind, on the way. Keep doing you, Logic.
