College Park is the eighth studio album by American rapper and record producer Logic. It was released through BobbyBoy Records, Three Oh One Productions, and BMG on February 24, 2023. The album marks Logic's first release as an independent artist since Young Sinatra: Welcome to Forever (2013), following a 10-year stint with Def Jam.[1] It features guest appearances from ADÉ, Andy Hull, Big Lenbo, Bun B, C Dot Castro, Fat Trel, Jordan Harris, Lil' Keke, Lucy Rose, Norah Jones, RZA, Redman, Joey Badass, Seth MacFarlane, and Statik Selektah.

## Background

[edit]

Logic first teased the album in an Instagram story in October 2021. The album's title was referenced several times throughout Logic's previous album, Vinyl Days (2022). College Park was officially announced on January 10, 2023,[2] set to be his first release since parting ways with Def Jam after releasing seven studio albums with the label. In the past, he had expressed his frustration with the label: "I think for me, I've had a relationship that's been very up and down, but it's been a lot of ups, it really has. I can't sit here and just go in on Def Jam, when it's not Def Jam, it's major labels in general," he told Apple Music.[3]

In a video posted on Logic's YouTube channel, Logic told fans, "I love y'all and I'm making shit from the heart. I'm loving hip-hop. I was not really feeling it for a while. I don't really mean the music, I just mean the bullshit of the industry. But I realize now more than ever that none of that shit matters. I've missed you guys and I'm here and I just want to have fun and I'm so excited for College Park."[3]
