Multi-Dimension is the embodied imagination of who Prof.Logik is through the form of sounds.

Prof.Logik said us about his new album :

“This project was a therapeutic journey while I sat down in the lab constructing the tunes heard here on this release. Multi-Dimensions to me is simply a conversation to your ears and mind… Since i’m a man of few words this project is my way of communicating with you all the listeners. Music is vital in Life.”

A trip through the musical catalog of Prof.Logik is like an extended trip back home to the community you grew up in. It may seem like a strange way to describe someone’s productions at first, until you experience the atmosphere, nostalgia, and melancholy of his music and beats. Listen carefully and enjoy!

Prof.Logik is 27 year old Gregory Grant; a born and raised south-side Jamaica Queens, New York progressive hip-hop producer currently residing in Spartanburg, South Carolina, USA. Despite being a self-described “yank“, the professor’s music clearly has southern and international influences throughout.
