    Logic Gonzalez a Multifaceted Artist/Producer who's been Rhyming since 1990 and producing since 1995, a credited track record from performing to production backs his latin influenced urban music. Back in 1990 when logic decided as a youth that Hip-Hop was the genre of choice that he would like to tackle,he brought to the table then as a newcomer a training in latin percussion which he learned from his uncle/godfather Manuel Gonzalez at about the same time When Logic began transformation into an emcee he also started learning to play steel drums under steel pan great and legend Herman "Rock" Johnston, Logic says what i learned from Mr. Johston that was important wasn't just playing pan, but how to break apart compositions and stay versatile"This man played classical pieces on steel pan" after that I felt limitless. a Few years later in 94 Logic and rhyming partner CreatorDox landed an indepedent record deal for there duo group "Conflict Of Interest" As time went on the perils of a wrongly run indie took it's it toll logic cancelled the contract. " I was Like 16 years old and at that age your like- I'm signed it's all smooth from here, YEAH RIGHT,! To make matters worse Dox got bagged for doing some dirt and went away for 3 1/2 years. During this time Logic was devasted finishing highschool his partner since 1990 was gone, low finances and barely graduating made music school impossible, so Logic became determined to learn the craft of production. Many part time jobs later flipping burgers scamming doing whatever it took he got his first sampler and from there on equiptment became an obsession. Nov 1998 dox is released the duo reunites and in late 1999 they start working on a semi parody dirty south/east coast record Called Game Tight under the name "Lg & Dox" which was later released by Kane & Abel's Most Wanted Empire label. disaster hit again when Logic's mentor Mr. Johnston passed away on Logic's 24th birthday 2 weeks before Game Tight Was coming out. This made Logic even more agressive about succeeding, 2 months later Dox Gets 2 different girls pregnant with due dates 3 days apart. still fighting like always Logic stayed working on music determined to pravail, but what do you do when europes feeling the album and the owners of the label your on go to jail on cocaine charges? still pushing logic even volunteered to keep the label a float through adminstrative detail while the Ceo's where behind bars,but once again what do you do when distribution closes it's doors and files bankrupt over nite?
