Logic and 6ix put their musical chemistry on full display.

Though Kanye West had the foresight to delay his album, in order to give Lil Wayne space befitting of his stature, Logic opted to stick to the game-plan. Bobby Tarantino came through with the fourth volume of Young Sinatra, stylized as YSIV for good measure. As a traditionalist of the genre, it's no surprise that Logic has found those he deems kindred spirits, musical collaborators with whom he feels comfortable canvassing. As it happens, producer 6ix has become a crucial contributor to Logic's vision, and such is no different on this new endeavor.

Below, HHNM has amassed the YSIV production credits, which, to nobody's surprise, feature an abundance of 6ix. Contributions from Cubeatz, Ryan Tedder, Vontae Thomas, Rascal, NAZ. and Sunny Norway are also present. Sadly, RZA opted out of instrumentation, though he did lay down an excellent verse on "Wu-Tang Forever."
