Logic: The Young Sinatra

What I find the most appealing about Logic is not just his Rat Pack style and his friendships, but how they relate to my style and my

friendships. Rap artist Logic MD was born and raised into a generation that embraces classic styles with a modern look and feel. Logic,

commonly known as ‘The Young Sinatra’, takes this classic style and directs it towards his lyrics and lifestyle. Though his style is modern, it

has been largely influenced by Frank Sinatra and the Rat Pack era. An influence to his music is in large part from the support he had from his

friends as well as the influence of the Rat Pack and Frank Sinatra. Although Logic’s music seems to attract a specific generation he still gives

off a multigenerational sound and style. The Rat Pack was a diverse group of people so I put photos in that I had taken of my group of friends

and also photos that show how I relate the Rat Pack relationships and style with my group of friends. We all have different styles but our

differences are central to our friendships and help develop new ways of thinking. To follow up on my friendships I took photos that show our

personal styles that in the end come together to make a diverse group comparable to that of the Rat Pack. Both Logic and the Rat Pack

diversify themselves as well as their music and lyrics. Logic represents many different styles and brings them all together into one person;

Young Sinatra. Just like the Rat Pack, Logic represents friendship; something more than himself, in his era and style of music. One of my

pictures is from graduation and it directly correlates to the value of friendship and an era of my “Pack’s” lives. To describe the origins of Logic

I struggled with what about him to focus on. There are so many things that go into what made him who he is so I used photos I have taken in

the past that emphasize friendship. Along with that I used a lot of different angles to show different perspectives which represent different

styles within those friendships. From there those photos merge in with the idea of those friendships developing into a style and a way of life.

The Young Sinatra style became bigger than just Logic.

Logic focused on the friendships and styles of his new life instead of the lifestyle itself.

Style

Logic defined himself through his music, style, and his Rat Pack to be who he is today.

The Rat Pack.

His style has largely influenced my own style, but…

I wouldn’t be the same without the support and influences from friends.
