Following a two-year break in between albums (in which he dropped a mixtape, Bobby Tarantino), Logic will return in 2017 with his third studio album.
No longer calling it AfricAryaN after causing a minor hubbub about its meaning, the rapper has instead changed the title to Everybody. Logic also ran a contest where one fan would have their likeness painted on the album cover, revealing the winner — Josh — shortly before unveiling a teaser revealing the album art.
This is Josh. He says my music has helped him overcome daily challenges. He won my fan contest and will be painted on my next album cover pic.twitter.com/UJiIVAJ3tr

Everybody is slated to be released on May 5th, via Def Jam/Visionary Music Group. A documentary will accompany the album, chronicling its creation. The album artwork, painted by Sam Spratt “for about 6 months,” can be seen below.
UPDATE: Let’s just say, Freddie Gibbs isn’t too pleased with the similarities to the artwork and (especially) the trailer for his upcoming album, You Only Live 2wice.
