Background[edit]
Logic's mixtape Young Sinatra is the first installment of four in the series and is titled after his alter ego which is based on Frank Sinatra, one of his favorite singers. Since it couldn't be released on major platforms due to the inability to get the samples cleared, Logic released it to datpiff.com, a site known for having some of the best mixtapes released. There the mixtape received over 750,000 downloads since its initial release. On this mixtape he samples Frank Sinatra's song "It Was Very Good Year" on the record One. The song is now on all platforms as he was able to get the sample cleared in 2021. Logic published music videos for his songs "All I Do", "Mind of Logic", "Live on Air", "Young Sinatra II", and "Just Another Day".
Production[edit]
The mixtape was produced by Logic, Black Diamond, 6ix, C Dot Castro, OB, Baum Beats, Inspired Mindz, Charli Brown Beatz, Project Marvel, and Sunny Norway.[3]

Reviews[edit]
Script error: No such module "Music ratings".One review on Albumoftheyear.org said "Definitely better than his previous ''Young, Broke & Infamous'' mixtape by and being way more cohesive and not all over the place. The production is much better and interesting with the BoomBap style production being here fucking addictive asf, the instrumental choices are great to the hear here." Another Review this one coming from Rateyourmusic.com said "This and Undeniable are in my opinion Logic's best 2 projects, around this time it truly felt like Logic had no filler bars and could just rap for hours at a time and still have great lines up until the finish and that's what I feel this mixtape and Undeniable are, Logic shortened his career by making these as good as they are." Lastly a review from Sputnikmusic.com said this about the project " Logic’s first efforts- mainly the Young Sinatra mixtapes and the original Psychological Logic tape- showcase minimal development in terms of sound, but the utmost expansion in confidence and prowess. This single-minded approach by the young rapper has undoubtedly produced a large number of tracks focusing on the achievement of his goal, but it has also created a metric by which his progress can be monitored."
