Logic leans fully into storytelling on his new song “The Ballad of Rooster Jenkins.” The track runs nearly eight minutes and focuses more on narrative than radio play. It centers around a fictional character named Rooster Jenkins, using his journey to explore identity, pressure, and growth.
The song plays out like a short film in audio form. Morgan Freeman guides the listener as the narrator, setting scenes and moving the story forward. Logic appears later in the track, blending rapping and singing to close out the story and add emotional weight.
This release also reflects Logic’s continued push as an independent creator. “The Ballad of Rooster Jenkins” serves as the first single tied to his upcoming film Paradise Records. Earlier this fall, Logic revealed fans spent over one million dollars on Blu-ray pre-orders for the movie.
The moment highlights how Logic is building a full creative universe outside the usual industry system. Rather than chasing trends, he is focused on long-form stories and direct support from his fans, and this track is a clear example of that vision.
