Supermarket (Logic album)

Supermarket is the debut novel and accompanying soundtrack album by American rapper Logic, released on March 26, 2019, through Def Jam Recordings and Visionary Music Group. The project served as Logic's first foray into writing a novel, and he simultaneously created a soundtrack album to complement the narrative.

The novel, Supermarket, is a dark comedy-mystery written from the first-person perspective of Flynn, a disillusioned writer who takes a job stocking shelves at a supermarket. The story unfolds as Flynn finds himself embroiled in a series of bizarre events, including murders, within the seemingly mundane setting of the supermarket.

The soundtrack album of the same name features a departure from Logic's typical hip-hop sound. It showcases a more alternative rock and indie rock influenced style, with live instrumentation and a different vocal delivery from Logic. This stylistic shift was intended to reflect the tone and atmosphere of the novel. The album's production includes contributions from collaborators like Mac Demarco and others associated with the alternative rock scene.

While the novel received mixed reviews, the soundtrack album garnered attention for its unexpected sonic direction and Logic's willingness to experiment outside of his established genre. The release of both the book and album concurrently was a unique and ambitious undertaking in Logic's career.
