New sh-t from Logics (aka Young Ghangas). I love rap tracks where the grime overpowers the melody. “Zoom” has that beautiful dirt. Get it above. Listen below.

VIDEO: “Proud 2 Be” – Logics
From the Problematic EP (get it for FREE here) “Proud 2 Be” is Logics’ rallying cry for his music and, apparently, his life in general. This clip has an appealingly grimy DIY feel to it. Watch the Tacoma emcee go ham with a sledgehammer on a helpless television and felled tree, and then casually hang out with his homies on some old army tanks and heavy construction machinery. The dichotomy between existence in nature and artificiality is definitively Northwest (that is probably too heavy an analysis for this video, but whatever). As far as Logics’ flow, it’s still growing on me.
DOWNLOAD: Problematic EP – Logics
Logics (aka Young Ghangas) dropped his Problematic EP a few days ago. Click here or the album cover above for the FREE download. I still contend that “Focused” is one of the best locally-released tracks of young 2011 (and that Logics and Geo should do an EP together — material that lets Pro Brown tap into his inner ‘hood identity, an incarnation that we all know exists but hasn’t yet shown itself, at least not fully).
Here are the visual for “Stars & Beyond” (featuring Eighty4 Fly and Brainstorm), one of the tracks off Problematic:
Remember those low-budget Death Row videos that were all over MTV before the label blew? Yeah, this is slightly reminiscent of those: lots of talent and severely limited production value.
No matter. When Logics spits “I represent Asians/Never used it as a crutch,” all is forgiven by this blogger. (I’m Korean — what you ain’t know?) It’s also pretty quaint how they use the Museum Of Flight as the clip’s backdrop. And curious that there isn’t a single neighborhood dimepiece in sight. Women are allowed in the US Air Force too, you know…

Hot sh-t. Logics drops his best track yet with (more than) a little help from Prometheus Brown and Adrian Sims. Marcus D hooks the beat up — some of that NY grimy soul sh-t. Remarkable considering dude does his dirt in Auburn. (And I don’t mean the University.) This is essential cold air, hunched-down-in-your-bubblegoose music.

DOWNLOAD: “Clarity Mixtape” (Logics w/DJ B-MELLO)
South Sound emcee Logics blesses the Northwest with a full-length mixtape. Nice to finally have this much material compiled in one place from this cat. Geo has been telling the public for a minute that the rapper also known as Young Ghangas is hungry. Hit the album covers below for the D/L link and see what’s on his menu.
DOWNLOAD: “The Calling” (Logics f/Freeway & Element)
On the heels of the Jake One/Freeway Rhymesayers collabo (Stimulus Package), comes hungry-as-a-bear rhyme animal, Logics. The man also known as Young Ghangas goes in with Free and Element on “The Calling”. Click below to download.
You Know We Had To Do It…
…The Six puts in its two cents over the Drake beat (click on the photo to download at 2dopeboyz):
Best versus are by Spaceman and Grynch. The more I hear Space the more I like him — dude just has so much personality on the mic. The King of Ballard goes double-time here, ala Eminem — don’t think I’ve ever heard him do that, but it’s pretty f*cking filthy.
