History

Logic first became interested in hip-hop at the age of eleven when he was exposed to U.T.F.O.'s hit "Roxanne, Roxanne". By his own admission, lyrical talent did not come naturally to him, and he has described his own early demo efforts as bad. His first release, "Planet Rock", came out in 1998. In the same year, he began a series of guest appearences, most notably and frequently with the Jedi Mind Tricks. The Jedi Mind Trick's Vinnie Paz (formerly Ikon the Verbal Hologram) coined the name which has become Logic's moniker, 'the Drunken Dragon'. In 2002, the Demigodz "The Godz Must be Crazy" EP was released, featuring Louis on a number of tracks.

Louis Logic's solo career took off in 2003 with the release of "Sin-A-Matic", which met with critical acclaim and widespread underground success. In 2004 he withdrew from the Demigodz, citing as reasons the fact that his association with the group was overshadowing his solo career, and the fact that his music was developing in a very different direction from the style which made him comfortable with the Godz, who generally value traditional battle-style rhyming over innovation. He stressed that the rift was not a bitter one, and that he remains on good terms with the Demigodz, particularly Celph Titled, with whom he is personally close. 2003 (MMIII) was a common year starting on Wednesday of the Gregorian calendar. ... 2004 (MMIV) was a leap year starting on Thursday of the Gregorian calendar. ...

Although he released "Alcohol/Ism" later that year as the Odd Couple with Jay Love, his departure from the Demigodz also marked a retreat from collaborative work. His forthcoming album with J.J. Brown will feature no cameos at all by other rappers, although a singer was brought in for one track.
