19 MARCH 2018 (Toronto, ON) – Multi-platinum, Grammy®-nominated artist Logic – among the top streaming artists in the world with billions of streams to date – rockets to a #1 debut on the Billboard 200 albums chart with Bobby Tarantino II, his new mixtape via Def Jam Recordings/ Visionary Music Group/Universal Music Canada, the country’s leading music company. The release came as a surprise to fans earlier this year and is available to stream/download online now.

With over 123 Million on-demand audio streams in its first week, Bobby Tarantino II is Logic’s second Billboard 200 chart-topper in less than 10 months. The project garnered over 100 million streams globally, to become Logic’s highest ever chart debut in Canada, as well as in international markets including the United Kingdom, Australia, Sweden, Norway, and more. The success of Bobby Tarantino II comes on the heels of Logic’s breakout third album Everybody in May 2017, and his show-stopping Grammy Awards® performance of the 4x-platinum (US), 3x-platinum (Canada) “1-800-273-8255” (National Suicide Prevention Lifeline) featuring Alessia Cara and Khalid, which is still reverberating as the climactic event of that night. The single catapulted Logic to worldwide success for bringing mental health and suicide prevention awareness to the national conversation. The song earned Logic two Grammy® Award nominations – including the prestigious Song Of The Year.

"In the short time I've been a part of the Def Jam operation, Team Logic has impressed me in so many ways,” said Paul Rosenberg, Chairman & CEO of Def Jam Recordings. “Bobby Tarantino II carries the tradition of Logic's many great projects and has a lot to offer- we are just getting started."

Bobby Tarantino II is anchored by the standout single “Everyday” featuring Philadelphia DJ-producer Marshmello, as well as the blistering “44 More”. In addition, the surprise Bobby Tarantino II mixtape boasts A-list features from hip-hop heavy hitters 2 Chainz, Big Sean, and Wiz Khalifa. Bobby Tarantino II is the eagerly awaited second installment of the series that was launched with Bobby Tarantino, Logic’s surprise mixtape of July 2016.

Last week, Logic also announced his upcoming North American summer amphitheater and arena tour, with support from rising hip-hop artists NF and Kyle. The 33-city tour of the US and Canada, includes such prestigious venues as Toronto’s Budweiser Stage on July 5, and the PNE Amphitheatre in Vancouver on July 15, with full list of tour dates and ticket information available at LiveNation.com.
