If you've ever felt the feeling of neglect, being sidelined, not accepted or treated unfairly solely because of your skin colour or race then Logic's "AfricAryan" will once again evoke those emotions. As he raps from the perspective of various biracial individuals including a white mother who gives birth to a mixed baby and as such has been disowned by her parents.
This is the last track off his third studio album, "Everybody". This 12 minute long, behemoth of a track features a somber and uplifting Outro by fellow rapper J. Cole & has heart piercing vocals from singer Neil DeGrasse Tyson.
Logic pours his heart out on the 6ix produced joint about how growing up biracial affected him & how he's not ashamed of his granddad "Malik", even though his black siblings would act as if he's adopted.
He speaks on how he wants to go back to the time his black father impregnated his "cracker" mother and stop it, because of the amount of rejection he got throughout his life.

I feel like the song is the most important on the album, because not only do we get to hear other people's stories but we got a piece of Logic's life. Since the album is about everybody, we didn't expect him to get personal, he gave us a piece of him on the track.
Overall, a masterful track to an equally masterful album.
