College Park

About

College Park is the eighth album by Maryland rapper, Logic, released on February 24, 2023. It is the follow-up of his June 2022 final album with Def Jam, Vinyl Day. The album marks Logic’s first independent project after the rapper’s feud with his former label, which he would end up leaving in 2022. The album’s title is an ode to the Maryland town, College Park, which was a big part of Logic’s life as he launched his career in music, with the city appearing in his previous albums and even music video. The first mention of the album was on October 12, 2021, during an Instagram Story where he shows a script—similar to his theme albums like his 2015 album The Incredible True Story and his 2017 album Everybody—with the name of the album, hinting that the album was being worked before. The album was going to be the last album with the label, although later the rapper would first make Vinyl Day, which he would finish it in a 12-day span. On Vinyl Day, Logic mentions the album title many times during various songs—showing that the album is still being worked and will be his next and first independent project—like in “LaDonda,” where he raps: “College Park next, bitch, I saved it for the fan.“ On January 4, 2023, Logic released “Insipio” which would be the first promotional single for the album. Five days later, Logic would officially revealed the album release date along with an anime-inspired trailer. Later, on January 10, Logic revealed the album cover art in his social media, which heavily references his 2014 debut studio album, Under Pressure. Three days later, he released the Lucy Rose-assited and second promotional single, “Wake Up”. .
