Logic joins Twitch after striking seven-figure streaming deal Wikimedia Commons: DaniXCortes \/ Twitch[jwplayer nRNmFBgY]Popular rapper \u2018Logic\u2019 has signed an exclusive streaming deal with Twitch, just days after announcing his impending retirement from music. Logic, real name Sir Robert Bryson Hall II, has released five studio albums to-date, but announced on July 16 that he would be retiring from music after the release of forthcoming project \u2018No Pressure,\u2019 which is slated for release on July 24. While fans were shocked by the announcement, including many top content creators, it doesn\u2019t seem as though Logic will be disappearing entirely, as he takes on the world of livestreaming as opposed to studio and festivals. Although in his initial announcement Tweet, Logic suggested that now it is \u201ctime to be a great father,\u201d it\u2019s become clear that this isn\u2019t him leaving the spotlight for good, but instead taking his talents to Twitch, where he has allegedly penned a seven-figure deal. While many celebrities have taken to livestreaming, not many have signed exclusive deals that compare to \u2014 and even outweigh \u2014 some of the deals being signed by top streamers, but Logic is looking to bridge that gap. In an exclusive interview with The Verge, Logic explained how and why he came to make the decision. \u201cI\u2019m not this rapper guy, man,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019m just a nerd. I love video games. I\u2019m blessed enough to have millions of fans and followers. So it is a great partnership.\u201d He then revealed that the deal itself is worth seven figures \u2014 though no exact number is specified, a minimum of $1 million isn\u2019t too shabby for someone that hasn\u2019t made their name as a streamer. The rapper is no stranger to the streaming world, having been an active user on Twitch \u201csince 2015 or 2016,\u201d as well as having affiliations with the likes of FaZe Clan in the past. In Logic\u2019s first official Twitch livestream as an exclusive partner, he will be premiering No Pressure ahead of its July 24 release. Logic is scheduled to go live for the first time at 5 PM PST (8 PM EST \/ 1 AM BST) on Tuesday, July 21, giving his most devoted fans on Twitch an exclusive early look at what\u2019s to come.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
