In a month’s time, Def Jam wordsmith Logic will have delivered his sophomore effort The Incredible True Story. In anticipation of the project, he deliver a second track called “Like Woah.”

Maffew Ragazino may or may not be your personal rap savior but he’s certain to preach from his lyrical pulpit no matter how much recognition he gets.
