Logic Def Jam Juice II New Music Video

Even while he's busy on tour, Logic is always one to feed fans and keep putting out fun material. Moreover, he just released the music video for his loose "Juice II," and filmed it during one of his latest concerts. In fact, he premiered the song during his Vinyl Verse tour with Wiz Khalifa on August 16 of last year, which is presumably when he shot the visual. Over a peppy trap beat and with trademark fast and emphatic rhymes, the lyricist was able to keep the crowd energized throughout. However, that's not all that the music video entailed, as he also threw shade at Def Jam after leaving the label.

"So for those of y’all who don’t know, I’m off Def Jam,” Logic told the arena during his performance, which starts the video off. “I’m a motherf***in’ free man, baby. I’m free! So that means I can do whatever the f**k I want. Like, every single one of y’all be in my brand new music video." Of course, the 33-year-old expressed numerous times prior how happy and fulfilled he felt upon leaving his contract behind and gaining more independence.

"I’m so excited I’m off Def Jam, I’m a free man,” Logic also remarked to his fans. “I been making so much music. I been making turn-up music, I been making f***in’ boom-bap hip-hop s**t. Even in the trap s**t I’ve been doing there’s like more of a message than ever dawg that’s real. It’s important if you’re in a position of power to spread a good message. Always peace love and positivity." In a statement shortly his move away from his former label, he spoke on valuing his independence and dignity as an artist above all else.

"There’s a lot of bullshit in the music industry,” he stated. “I’m just glad to move on to a place where I can be independent and respected as an artist. And feel like I’m in control of my career." We're sure that there will be plenty more from the "Redpill VII" MC in the near future. With his next tour coming up very soon at the end of May, maybe we'll get more crowd music videos in the future. Regardless, stay up to date on HNHH for the latest news on Logic.
