Sir Robert Bryson Hall II (born January 22, 1990), known by his stage name Logic, is an American rapper and singer. He was born and raised in Gaithersburg, Maryland. He has amassed a large Internet following and is a member of the RattPack, his group of friends that he works with. Logic has released four official mixtapes and two studio albums, the most recent being The Incredible True Story.
He is currently signed with Visionary Music Group and Def Jam and released his debut album Under Pressure on October 21, 2014. The album debuted at number four on the Billboard 200 and sold 73,000 copies in its first week. Logic released his sophomore album The Incredible True Story on November 13, 2015.
Early life
Robert Bryson Hall II grew up in the West Deer Park public housing projects, a low-income crime-ridden neighborhood. Throughout his childhood, both his African-American father and White mother suffered from cocaine addiction and alcoholism. His father was not a major part of his childhood, but they are in contact with each other now. Growing up, his brothers sold crack cocaine and even sold the drug to his father. He attended Gaithersburg High School but did not graduate. He began skipping classes in the 10th grade. "I started doing badly and failed every class but English, so they kicked me out of school, they gave up on me." Logic was expelled and used his free time to dive into pursuing his music career.
Boolean-valued function
A boolean-valued function (sometimes called a predicate or a proposition) is a function of the type f : X → B, where X is an arbitrary set and where B is a boolean domain, i.e. a generic two-element set, (for example B = {0, 1}), whose elements are interpreted as logical values, for example, 0 = false and 1 = true.
In the formal sciences, mathematics, mathematical logic, statistics, and their applied disciplines, a boolean-valued function may also be referred to as a characteristic function, indicator function, predicate, or proposition. In all of these uses it is understood that the various terms refer to a mathematical object and not the corresponding semiotic sign or syntactic expression.
In formal semantic theories of truth, a truth predicate is a predicate on the sentences of a formal language, interpreted for logic, that formalizes the intuitive concept that is normally expressed by saying that a sentence is true. A truth predicate may have additional domains beyond the formal language domain, if that is what is required to determine a final truth value.
