Aside from being a Grammy nominee, Logic can officially add “best-selling author” to his list of achievements. His debut novel Supermarket, penned under Bobby Hall, nabbed the top spot on the New York Times‘ Paperback Fiction Best-Seller list, making him the first rapper with a best selling fiction title.
