I swapped info to set up this interview regarding Illogic’s new album, “A Man Who Thinks With Own Mind” while Aesop rock was performing.
It was heartwarming to see that some of underground rap’s finest were still friends.
“A Man Who Thinks With His Own Mind” is being released by Illogic after doing two albums with Aesop’s neighborhood friend Blockhead.
Obviously these dudes have been cutting records since Aesop’s “One Brick” off 2001 Labor Days.
Illogic and I linked up a week or so later at Fitzy’s Diner near Schrock Rd and he answered questions over coffee.
The album title stems from one of Illogic’s middle names: Korega, which literally means, “A Man Who Thinks With His Own Mind.”
This album reflects Illogic’s self-reliant cognitive abilities.
It also reflects the fact that this is the first album he has released himself. We tried to figure out how many albums Illogic has released since 1998.
Illogic quipped, “Too Many.” There was a humble answer.
