Logic – The Ballad of Rooster Jenkins

Logic showcases his storytelling abilities in “The Ballad of Rooster Jenkins,” a reflective single that emphasizes narrative over commercial radio appeal. The 8-minute track focuses on a fictional character, Rooster Jenkins, to delve into themes of identity, pressure, and personal growth. The piece unfolds like a short story, with Morgan Freeman serving as the narrator guiding listeners through various scenes. Logic contributes towards the end of the song, incorporating rapping and singing to advance the narrative.

Additionally, Logic continues to affirm his independent creative path. This release serves as the first single from his upcoming film, Paradise Records. Earlier this fall, he disclosed that fans spent over $1 million on Blu-ray pre-orders for the film, which is connected to the same storytelling universe as “The Ballad of Rooster Jenkins.” This success underscores Logic’s focus on direct-to-fan releases and developing narratives outside conventional industry frameworks.
