Logic "Lost in Translation" Recording Sessions in Japan Studio

Hard Knock Tv's Nick Huff Barili flew to Japan to record the final days before the release of Logic's album Confessions of a Dangerous Mind. In this episode Nick takes us inside the studio to get a glimpse at Logic's creative process from writing to recording. The beat made by 6ix which contains a sample you hear in the first half ended up not being placed on the album because the sample didn't get cleared. Video of 6ix explaining the whole process will be dropping next. Make sure you subscribe and turn on notifications to be the first to see the next video!

this type of songs aren't the only thing that Logic really needs, he also needs to stop rushing his stuff

[@Thee_Ansar]

It's funny cause I used to feel terrible about punch ins, but it just make sense to make sure the energy is where it needs to be on every part of the verse, being lyricist is work and takes allot out of you, i deeply appreciate seeing these sessions

He had his blue phone, for y'all who don't know, the theories on reddit suggest that The Blue Phone = The Under Pressure side of him, and The Red Phone = The Bobby Tarantino side of him. (I do not know if he did it on purpose because Nick Huff was recording, or it might just be nothin', who knows, though?)

[@mikhaildwyer5575]

Now THAT is an INTERESTING comment... For real thank you

If he recorded more of him recording vocals and there's a red phone, this theory could be right
