Everybody (stylized as "ΞVERYBODY") is the third studio album by American rapper Logic. It was released on May 5, 2017, by Visionary Music Group and Def Jam Recordings. The album also features production from 6ix and Logic, among others. It was supported by three singles: "Everybody", "Black Spiderman" featuring Damian Lemar Hudson, and "1-800-273-8255" featuring Alessia Cara and Khalid.
On October 3, 2016, Logic revealed a working title of the album to be called AfricAryaN, stating the title was due to "being black and white, and seeing life from two sides. [It's about] cultural evolution [because] we all have so many different ethnicities in our blood, no matter how pure we think we are." The album's title received controversy upon release, with many voicing their displeasure at Logic's inclusion of the word "Aryan", and the historical connotations regarding the word. This rationale supposedly caused Logic to alter the title of the album, although, he retained the name for the final song on the album. The album's cover art was painted by Sam Spratt, who used The Wedding at Cana, painted by Paolo Veronese as an example. Logic also conducted a contest for a fan to be painted on the album cover, which was won by a fan named Josh suffering with osteogenesis imperfecta.
Logic further elaborated on the album's concept in a subsequent YouTube video, revealing astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson would star as God, and former San Francisco radio personality Big Von would play the protagonist Atom. It is explained that Atom dies in a car accident, and speaks with God upon arrival to Heaven. God informs him the only way he can move into the afterlife is if he can complete reincarnation into another life, to which Atom agrees. However, he later finds out that the reincarnation isn't just coming back as a single person, but living the lives of every single human being. As such, he must learn and live as every human being ever, to move on to the afterlife.
