The Incredible True Story by Logic Album Info

The Incredible True Story is the second studio album by American rapper Logic and was released by Def Jam Recordings and Visionary Music Group on November 13, 2015. The Incredible True Story is described as "a sophomore album and motion picture sci-fi epic from Logic". The motion picture stars Logic, Steven Blum (as Thomas), Kevin Randolph (as Kai), and Anna Elyse Palchikoff (as Thalia). The album tells a story that takes place 100 years in the future; the Earth has become uninhabitable, and the remaining 5 million people live in a space station. Kai and Thomas, both from the future, are trying to travel to a planet called "Paradise", and their trip is accompanied by a playthrough of the album. The album was entirely produced by Logic and longtime friend and in-house producer, 6ix, with C-Sick as a guest producer. The album includes features from Big Lenbo, English singer Lucy Rose, Dria, and Jesse Boykins III. The album art was illustrated and painted by artist Sam Spratt, as a 3-panel panoramic album cover. The cover includes 12 main contributors to the album's creation, including Logic, 6ix, Steve Blum, Kevin Randolph, DJ Rhetorik, and a hidden Sam Spratt, among others. The plot is described as follows: "By 2023, Japan and the United States merge to create a super-nation to combat famine, depleted resources, and the increasing extinction in animals caused by the amplification of pollution. As the leaders in world science, the conjoined nations are able to create genetically engineered meat that is enhanced and grown in an unconscious state, which is then slaughtered for consumption. They decide that the quickest way to distribute the food on a worldwide scale is through China, as China interlinks with other first-world countries in Europe and Oceania. China then uses its newly found power to its advantage, often overpricing the conjoined nation for its distribution route through the country. This prompts the conjoined nation to contact Russia, which has displaced democracy in favor of a royal family. The conjoined nation enters into a working agreement with Russia to assassinate the President of China, in exchange for Russian occupation of Alaska, which the conjoined nation reluctantly agrees to. Soon after, the President of China is assassinated and replaced by the country's vice president. Following the successful assassination, a secret treaty is to be agreed upon between the conjoined nation and Russia, to formally hand over Alaska. As soon as the Russian King arrives, however, he dies due to cardiac arrest at 59, which calls off the treaty. The Prince of Russia hears of the news and immediately suspects the conjoined nation, declaring war by firing nuclear missiles at a land inhabited by the conjoined nation. As a result of the nuclear attack, the world's oceans become poisoned, forcing the remaining first-world countries to move to and operate within free land in the Midwestern United States, alongside the Great Lakes. Dubbing the new city "Babel", they worked to purify the Earth's oceans, hoping to eradicate the issues that had arisen from the nuclear attacks. A chemical is soon created, which adequately purifies the water to make it fit for human consumption on a wide scale. Following the creation of this chemical, billions of people begin to die, leaving scientists dumbfounded at the situation. Babel soon decreases from billions in population to millions. It is later revealed that the genetically engineered meat previously created by the conjoined nation, reacted to form an inharmonious solution with the purified water. As the remainder of Babel calculated the rate at which humans are dying, the decision is made for the rest of the city's population to dissipate from Earth. By 2065, the residents work to create the Babel Space Station, which holds the 5 million remaining inhabitants and left Earth in search of a similar planet. The album follows Quentin Thomas, William Kai, and Thalia, who are listening to The Incredible True Story on their way to Paradise. They use the album as a backing track to the queries they have on life, often contemplating the point of finding Paradise, and what it will hold should they arrive. During the journey, they enter the vicinity of another ship, an out-of-the-norm situation due to the Aquarius III being one of the only remaining ships in current space travel. Thomas soon instructs Thalia to hack the system, before she stumbles upon a damaged audio distress signal located in its interface. Upon opening the signal, it details Christopher Smith, a pilot from Aquarius I, in his final hours, warning future travelers to suspend their journey and return to where it was they came from. Despite initially being shaken by the message, Thomas instructs that Aquarius III should continue. Following further travel, they arrive at a planet with similar conditions to what they were searching for and leave the ship. The album concludes with the trio successfully landing at what is now known as Paradise." The Incredible True Story was supported by three singles: "Young Jesus", "Like Woah", and "Fade Away". The album received positive reviews from music critics and was a commercial success. It debuted at number three on the US Billboard 200, earning 135,000 album-equivalent units in its first week. It also reached number one on the US Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart. The album was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) in June 2021.
