This Bright Future

A Memoir

By: Bobby Hall

Narrated by: Bobby Hall

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.

Wow

Robert Hall has always been a favorite of mine. His music has always been my escape away from the world. I’ve started listening to him when he just started and have read both his books. This book gave me such a visual ride of emotions. I’ve laughed, got mad or sad about how his life was. Jaw dropping moments to crying. Definitely would recommend listening to and reading. Thank you for such an incredible novel/documentary.

Thank you

Your book was amazing and painted a picture of something we all need to remember. The come up.

An absolute pleasure of a listen

Logic fan or not you have to be a fan of Bobby Hall. His story is compelling and the entire book feels so personal and genuine. Upon finishing my listening experience I feel so inspired and determined to make the most of my life. Bobby concurred the odds and did something no one ever thought he could. His story proves that anyone can make anything of themselves. I might be a fan of logic the rapper but I’m a bigger ally of the man Bobby. I’d recommend this listen to anyone who likes an underdog story and wants to light a fire in their own passions. Cheers to you Bob, you made it, I pray I can do the same.
