Top Dawg Entertainment’s REASON has announced a release date for his upcoming album New Beginnings. After taking a swipe at Logic on his single “The Soul Pt. 2,” the West Coast rapper revealed his next project will drop on October 9.
“I had to get rid of every fear, anxiety, doubt, and negative mindset to make this project,” he wrote on Instagram. “Through it all I’m just proud and thankful for the opportunity to share this part of myself with y’all. Humbled and thankful to all of y’all that have been patient with me but I’m proud to say ‘soon’ is almost here.”
REASON hasn’t dropped a project since 2018 when his There You Have It album was re-released on TDE. The album originally came out in 2017 prior to him signing with the label.
Although REASON’s Logic diss grabbed some attention from fans, the lyrical jab didn’t seem to bother its target. When asked about the TDE rapper dissing him on a Twitch stream, Logic simply said, “I don’t know who that is.”
In a since-deleted tweet, REASON noted his line about Logic was written before the former MC stepped away from music. He still hasn’t explained why he took a verbal shot at the retired rapper though.
“I’ll talk about the logic thing if necessary later,” he wrote. “But I do wanna make clear I didn’t wait til he retired to take a shot. I wrote this shit a year ago. That’s corny to do that now after he’s announced retirement. Take care, enjoy the music!”
Logic Dismisses TDE Rapper REASON's Existence — & His 'The Soul Pt. 2' Single
On “The Soul Pt. 2,” REASON accuses Logic of being a culture vulture.
“See y’all mistake my name for Logic’s, y’all got me fucked up/How you compare a nigga that take from the culture/Versus a nigga that’s for it? This shit getting boring,” he raps.
Listen to the full track below.
Notice how in the head line they said “after he dissed logic” and then proceed to have 3/4 of the article about it. All these blog really try and do is promote beef and add kerosene to the fire.
WTF else is he known for? I haven’t heard of this guy before he made that wack diss lol
That’s their way to get us to click on the articles. Tacky but it brings traffic, especially if one missed the initial / prior articles. Bc honestly, would a lot of us be reading about dude otherwise? And I’m not a Logic fan but damn folks are on his nuts. It’s bc he’s an easy target and a nice guy that just makes music. Were he on some powerhouse label not giving an eff, spitting recklessly, or some street G that would show you what time it is If he ran into you or whatnot, this would not be an issue. Like I said, how are you going to call a half dude a culture vulture when there’s a lot of other non minority artists? I mean, Reason sounds kind of nice on the mic, and obviously has Dope beats to ride on, nice delivery that separates him from a lot of the garbage shoved down our throats…AND he’s on TDE (we know how they get down…their artists give hip hop the business). I just think the jab at Logic was immature, and as a person trying to establish a name in the mighty house that TDE built, was corny and a quick move to garner attention. I expect better from a TDE artist. Artists should have THEM in their crosshairs, not the other way around (unless competition is tight and to establish reign, go for broke like K.Dot did on control-Readon is not remotely close to do so career wise, and is a budding artist). Peace
Well said. Cheers.
I took a fat shit today!
TDE, Tranny Dong Entertainment is all built around Kendrick. If he never blew up this label would never be talked about like it is. Kendrick already left to start his own label. Probably tired of giving half his money to some old washed up hustler named “Top Dog” lol uh ok. Once he leaves that label they will be oit of business in a year. I guarantee it.
