    "No I.D. my mentor, now let the story begin". This album is the absolute definition of "full circle". He started with his album, 'Under Pressure', having legendary producer No I.D. make all the beats & now he's finishing his career with him (No I.D.) being behind the decks & having 'No Pressure' (hence the album title). I love when artists create material that connects with past or even"No I.D. my mentor, now let the story begin". This album is the absolute definition of "full circle".

I love when artists create material that connects with past or even future projects. Logic has been one of my favorite rappers in the last 10 years when i first came across his 'Young Sinatra' mixtapes on Datpiff. When his music came into my life, everything changed. There have only been a handful of MC's that have shown me new rhyme flows (Biggie, Raekwon, Nas, Big L, Guru of Gang Starr, KRS-One, Pharaoh Monch etc) and he 100% did that for me when from the very first tune i experienced. Hearing that he was ending his rap career after this last album, saddened me immensely, but i knew that he was doing what was best for himself & his new chapter in life. I went into this album, like i go into any album & that's with an open mind. Basically a blank slate. I sat on my bed last Thursday night, streaming the album on my Spotify & just vibing out to the maximum. The title speaks for itself & he's essentially just having fun on the entire thing. There was never a spot or moment within the entire album, where i was enjoying it supremely. This is easily one of his best efforts out of everything he has released. I will absolutely keep this in my rotation for as long as I'm alive. He's leaving on a very high note in his career & I only have mad respect for him. Thank you for all that you've done & how you've impacted my life.

    One Love,

    This album is a huge comeback for Logic. No I.D. and 6ix's production skills are off the charts and make this album really good. That's not to discredit Logic, though.

His pen game is the best it's been in three, heck, maybe even five years, with great lines like "Wait till my son shine and then we reign" and "I get under people's skin like stitches." The album has no bad songs, though I would say "A2Z" was a bit weak and corny with the production. This really doesn't make that much of a dent in the album, with there being 16 tracks, and the pace picks right up after the song. "Dadbod" is a really great and funny track, and it is clearly influenced by some of Eminem's older works, but not to the point where it's blatantly ripping off Eminem in any way. There are also a lot of other good tracks like "Hit My Line," "Perfect," "Dark Place," and "GP4." Overall, this is Logic's best commercial release. He really seems to come to terms with the things he's rapped about, his fanbase, and his life overall. An amazing sendoff for any Logic fan, and a great album in general.… Expand

    It’s good. It’s almost as logic and no id just listened to OutKast and were like “let’s do that” and that’s the album. Which honestly it’s not that bad considering that’s one of the best if not the best hip hop duos ever. I’m not really a fan of his music most of the time but the production is good and it’s a good vibe the album has going for it. So I would recommend this for any hip hopIt’s good.

    No Pressure is what every logic fan needed and then some. It encapsulates everything we love about him and the added touch of this being his retirement album makes it all the more sentimental.

    It's honestly a great album. After a long 6 years of getting beat down time and time again by the industry, he comes to terms with everything he's been through, reflects on his past, and lays his career to rest in order to be a great dad.

    Had its moments but overall just didn’t feel memorable or special. It felt like it was missing something, like that ‘it’ factor he previously had at times wasn’t really there.

    This is Exactly what i meant when i thought that Logic should take a break, he has showed me a great album, great intro, all songs are amazingly produced, this is one of his best if not best album. Favourite song is Hit my line. Great flow, No I.D. just being legendary producer. I wish Logic a happy retirement.

    Great boom bap sounds, superb production and an incredible lyrical complexity. this album is what rap was born for, and what rap should be these days. Rap albums with a classic yet so modern sound are rare these days, and finding something that once again goes against the over-commercialized music industry is enough to justify a 10 for No Pressure.

    No Pressure is far too busy and easily distracted. ... When Logic just kicks back and shows off his skills, without trying to prove himself to anyone, No Pressure feels true to its title.
