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.

I made this album about during one of those deep, dark, cold Pennsylvania winters. My homie Jim Agguzi played the drums, of all sorts, and went on these wild percussion trips, drumming all over the walls and metal pipes sticking out of the walls in the basement we were recording in.
We recorded about 3 hours of straight up drum tracks, all in short segments, nothing in song structure. After I chopped some of the drums up, made some loops out of them, I arranged them he Jim laid the Wurlitzer on top.
After that was done, I went back out to Humboldt County, CA, did my business, and came up with the tracks. Don’t really remember where all the samples came from, or which filters or EQs I use, which I get asked all the time, but that’s what I came up with out of it.
My friend way up there, Valerio, played metal/FX guitar, so he added the guitar over tracks, and it was born; TRON VOYAGE.
The track listing is in the story of some alien robot, going thru life, getting pissed his job is wack, quitting, setting off for greener planets, finding one, enjoying the pece it thinks found, reality setting in & life getting hectic again, and then his realization that life is life, wherever you go. You can’t escape it.
Prof.Logik and Ackryte team up for a lovely collaborative EP filled with dirty drums, lush melodies, spacey and environmental samples and dope synth work.
