AllMusic
Logic's seventh studio album is a weighty tribute to the golden age of '90s hip-hop, and his scholarly passion for the genre is present in every fiber of the project’s composition.

Everyone shut up. He did it. Can we dial down the hate for him.

Logic comes back from retirement with his last album under Def Jam, “Vinyl Days” and boy does it live up to the name. From the J Dilla Donuts inspired samples and adlibs to Logic’s witty lyricism reminiscent of his early mixtape days, this album acts as a warm love letter to the golden era of hip hop. Logic capitalizes on the boom bap side here, making it sound more vintage than even the boom bap production on ... read more
