From Grammy Nominated Hip Hop Artist To Indie Filmmaker With ‘Paradise Records’: The Rise Of Logic – Crew Call Podcast
On today's Crew Call we sit down with Logic aka Sir Robert Bryson Hall II (Sir is reportedly part of his birth name) who rose from the hard-scrabbled environs of Gaithersburg, Maryland from a family wrestling with crime and addiction to become a multi-platinum rapper with albums such as 2014's "Under Pressure" and 2015's "The Incredible True Story".
One of the first cinematic mentors to reach out to Logic was none other than multi-billion grossing Star Wars filmmaker J.J. Abrams, who was a longtime fan (the multi-hyphenate tells us about his adventures with Bad Robot). Logic bet on himself and bankrolled his feature directorial debut, Paradise Records, which cost in the high single million digits, the pic starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Ron Perlman, Martin Starr, Jason Mewes, David Krumholtz, Tony Revolori, Kevin Corrigan, Juicy J and Bobby Lee with core players Tramayne Hudson, Reed Northup and Mary Elizabeth Kelly. Smith believed in Logic so much, not only did he EP and edit the rapper’s feature directorial debut, Paradise Records, but he also, along with buddy Jason Mewes, made a cameo in the pic as Jay and Silent Bob.
