The industry veteran's latest arrival marks his first release as an independent artist. Have you tapped in yet?

Despite previously retiring from rapping, this New Music Friday finds Logic making a triumphant return on his first independently released album. College Park arrived on DSPs at midnight on Friday (February 24), running over an hour in length and boasting several impressive collaborative efforts. The 33-year-old shared "Wake Up" featuring Lucy Rose as a single prior to his project, as well as "Highlife."

Closer to College Park's debut, the lyricist also delivered "Lightsabers" in tandem with C Dot Castro. In the upbeat song's accompanying music video, Logic gets his bars off for the camera while standing in the midst of flowing lava, rising buildings, and beautifully decorated rooms. Fans of the song's guest feature will be happy to know that it's not C's only appearance on the album.

Logic tapped Castro to join him twice more, first on "Gaithersburg Freestyle" and later on 38.9897 °N 76.9378 °W. Both tracks also boast bars from Big Lenbo, and the former additionally finds Fat Trel and ADÉ showing out. Other noteworthy names on the tracklist include RZA, Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane, and Joey Bada$$.

As Hypebeast notes, College Park's title is a tribute to the town in Maryland where the Grammy-nominated artist slept in Lenbo's basement for a year. Throughout the tracklist, Logic paints a sonic picture of what that time was like for him, markedly reflecting on his personal growth.
