Unfortunately, this failed to resonate with the younger audience as members become more disengaged as it dragged on.įortunately the crowd came back to life once again when Dizzy Wright and Demrick, the opening acts took the stage. Unlike the “DJ’s” of mainstream music, Hoppa’s set was less about turning knobs and pushing buttons but more of using turntables to produce scratching noises emulating hip hop tracks of the older era. The first to take the stage for the main crowd was DJ Hoppa, Dizzy Wright’s DJ that was also part of the now defunct record label Funk Volume. “My first, second, and third album are all in unison,” said Logic, “They’re all meant to be played back to back.” After a quick sound check which featured two songs, fans were asked to go back outside and wait with the rest for the doors to re-open. But what was previously unknown until now, is that when Thalia, a character from the latest album, says the words “Life,” it is actually the beginning of the next album. As fans know, the debut album Under Pressure and the latest album The Incredible True Story are both connected to each other. By far the biggest reveal however, was when a fan asked him about his next album. The crowd of 50 or so people shuffled into Echostage around 4 PM. The Q&A session yielded many interesting responses from Logic’s main inspiration for his music to his favorite episode of Cowboy Bepop (Toys in the Attic) to his favorite Faze clan member (FaZe Rain). Those with VIP passes were granted special access to a Q&A session and were able to watch the sound check. Previously, whenever Logic returned to the DC-Maryland-Virginia area, he would perform at the Fillmore in Silver Spring but after his newfound success from his album The Incredible True Story, it seemed only fitting that he would play at a much larger venue.įor some fans, the show started before the doors even opened. But Echostage is the closest venue to Gaithersburg that could accommodate the sold out crowd of 6,000 fans. Technically speaking, DC is not Logic’s hometown, Gaithersburg is.
