Logic‘s debut album Under Pressure may have set standards, however the newly announced Sophomore LP is likely to take the lead. Carrying the title The Incredible True Story, we expect this production to definitely live up to its name.

We may have been awaiting a concrete project for quite some time now, but Logic certainly makes the anticipation worthwhile. Having already gained the attention of fans, and of course the respect of many artists, this next move will only increase numbers.

If the trailer shot by Nick Mahar, is anything to go by we are in luck. Check it out above.

ASAP Rocky recently detailed his new movement in an interview with BBC 1Xtra, giving us an insight into the concept behind the Sophomore album, which we can already expect to heat up the streets, well..ASAP.

There is no doubt that the Wild For The Night artist has kept his upcoming plans on the down-low, so luckily for fans, presenter Charlie Sloth was able to squeeze a few secrets. Having surprised us with newly arranged features by; Mark Ronson, Rod Stewart and James Franco, we have now received the news that ASAP is not only applying dedication to his own work, but also the unfinished, quality productions by late partner; ASAP Yams.

The words of Flacko; ‘expect the unexpected’ are clearly applicable as he moves forward to explain:

“Yams started an album before he passed and he left his notebooks and blueprints, I’m just picking up where he left off. Me and him were gonna do the album together, he was working on a crazy album. I’m letting people know that if I do something good, the next thing I do will have to be great.”

With the many surprise projects that have already hit the streets, we can now anticipate the quality A.L.L.A album from ASAP Rocky. According to the “Purple Swag” artist, we won’t be waiting too long:

“Honestly, it’s finished. I’m mastering it right now. It’s coming soon, seriously soon. I don’t consider it a surprise — you put it out there and its art, that’s the surprise. I hope people are surprised by my album. I don’t know what to expect, I just do what I do.”

Although we only have minimal information at this stage, the diversity of the project is what will make this production stand apart from previous releases. With collaborators like LLA, Clams Casino, Lykke Li and FKA Twigs jumping on board, we expect nothing less than superb.

ASAP also talked about expressing his versatility from a unique angle, or more specifically, a ‘deeper, musical, intellectual side’:

“When I first came on the scene it was more of this trendy, bourgeois, pizazz attitude. That’s still me, but at the end of the day I think that kind of overshadowed the whole purpose of me doing what I do. I’m an incredibly diverse artist, I’m a universal artist. At least that’s how I see it.”

I can’t give nothing else away. – asvpxrocky
