Logic feels that his current project, Ultra 85, comes directly from his heart, but all of his hard work did not pay off — monetarily.
While on his way to Detroit, the rapper spoke with TMZ about his new goal of creating happy “turn-up shit” like Playboi Carti.
“What I’ve noticed is I’ve been on a run of doing super-Hip Hop music — that shit doesn’t pay the bills at all,” the musician told the publication.
“It’s because I used to make all of my money doing pop and turn-up trash, and now I’m fortunate enough to be a musician, to be able to compose music from my heart. But next year, I’ll fuck ’em up. I’m about to drop this Playboi Carti trap, turn-up trash, and go get a bag and have some fun.

“I did my best, and I believe it’s vital to speak from the heart. But it’s also okay to get money.”
Logic’s Ultra 85 has been in the works for about eight years and has guest appearances from T Man The Wizard, DJ Drama, ADÉ, Lucy Rose, Zelooperz, and Robert Ivory.
Ultra 85 was the working title for the 34-year-old rapper’s brief retirement album in 2020. When he signed off under No Pressure instead, many felt he just altered the package’s name while keeping the same tracklist.

However, the outro of “Heard Em Say” from the album has a robotic voice saying: “This concludes the No Pressure program/No Pressure- Ultra 85, welcome to the Ultra 85 program.”
Meanwhile, Logic’s new model Playboi Carti appears on Tyler, The Creator’s new album Chromakopia, but his contribution is currently limited to the vinyl edition.
Chromakopia was released on streaming sites on October 28, and most fans were unaware that the vinyl version of the album included an additional song and a cameo appearance by Carti.
The Atlanta rapper adds a cameo line to ScHoolboy Q’s “Thought I Was Dead,” using a deeper voice that he’s employed in previous recent songs over the twitchy production and tribal rhythms.
A recording of the music has since surfaced online.
