New Music: Logic, Slug, & Killer Mike " Tree of Life"

A few months after the release of his second album, “The Incredible True Story” , Logic is prepared to embark on his new tour in 2016. Last week, the Maryland rap poet released an interesting one-off track called “Tree of Life” features Slug (of Atmosphere) and the always eloquent Killer Mike.

The piano-themed song, produced by Top Dawg Entertainment’s producer Tae Beast, features the rap trifecta reflecting on the good and bad of hip-hop in their respective lives using the tree as their metaphor.

Logic starts off the song saying that he read something from Atmosphere in which they spoke about music we love and hate. He then raps about how different types of music connects with people in certain ways and just because it’s different doesn’t mean it’s inferior.

“We all from the same tree but your leaves degraded / Judging the different branches in music that elevated / Just cause it’s further from the roots don’t mean that you should hate it / Cause there’s a time and place for everything that’s been created” he raps.

Atmosphere continues to build on theme, suggest that hip-hop was made for everybody and not for a particular demographic. “My skin looks like bark / They used to do it out in the park / Pretend to defend or neglect to protect,” he says.

Finally, Killer Mike ends the song as he reminisces about music that touches his soul growing up. Check out the new track below:
