About this listen

 The instant New York Times bestseller and “inspiring and vulnerable” (Trevor Noah) memoir from Bobby Hall, the multiplatinum recording artist known as Logic and the #1 bestselling author of Supermarket.

This Bright Future is a raw and unfiltered journey into the life and mind of Bobby Hall, who emerged from the wreckage of a horrifically abusive childhood to become an era-defining artist of our tumultuous age.

A self-described orphan with parents, Bobby Hall began life as Sir Robert Bryson Hall II, the only child of an alcoholic, mentally ill mother on welfare and an absent, crack-addicted father. After enduring seventeen years of abuse and neglect, Bobby ran away from home and—with nothing more than a discarded laptop and a ninth-grade education—he found his voice in the world of hip-hop and a new home in a place he never expected: the untamed and uncharted wilderness of the social media age.

In the message boards and livestreams of this brave new world, Bobby became Logic, transforming a childhood of violence, anger, and trauma into music that spread a resilient message of peace, love, and positivity. His songs would touch the lives of millions, taking him to dizzying heights of success, where the wounds of his childhood and the perils of Internet fame would nearly be his undoing.

A landmark achievement in an already remarkable career, This Bright Future “is just like the author—fearless, funny, and full of heart” (Ernest Cline, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Ready Player One) and looks back on Bobby’s extraordinary life with lacerating humor and fearless honesty. Heart-wrenching yet ultimately uplifting, this book completes the incredible true story and transformation of a human being who, against all odds, refused to be broken.

This Bright Future by Bobby Hall (aka Logic) is a surprisingly relatable and uplifting read that goes far beyond the story of a famous rapper. Hall shares his journey with such honesty and vulnerability that it’s easy to see pieces of your own struggles, doubts, and dreams reflected in his. Despite the heavy topics (poverty, addiction, family dysfunction) there’s a persistent undercurrent of hope that reminds you it’s possible to rise above your circumstances. His story makes you believe that no matter where you start, there’s always a chance to shape a brighter future. It’s the kind of book that quietly nudges you toward believing a little more in your own potential, and that sometimes the nice guy doesn’t finish last.
This was my third book of his. I haven’t listened to any of his music yet, but that is not at all necessary to enjoy this or either of his other books. If I have a critique, there are several stories that repeat, and I feel like they could have been edited out or more relevantly to warrant a second mention. Still, it’s an excellent book and that truth doesn’t take away from the quality of the story.
