The Incredible True Story is the second studio album by American hip hop recording artist Logic. It was released on November 13, 2015, by Visionary Music Group and Def Jam Recordings. Recording sessions took place upon the completion and the release of Under Pressure, from late 2014 to early 2015. The album saw extensive production by Logic along with a variety of contributors, including 6ix, Stefan Ponce, Sir Dylan, Syk Sense, OZ and DJ Dahi. The album also saw limited appearances from guest vocalists, with Big Lenbo, Lucy Rose, Dria and Jesse Boykins III being credited with guest appearances. Its release was preceded by the promotional singles "Young Jesus", "Like Woah" and "Fade Away". Each song was released to coincide with a three-week delay.

The Incredible True Story has been characterized as an experimental musical work, with particular attention drawn to the running storyline detailed within the album. It incorporates elements inspired by filmmaker Quentin Tarantino, including its non-linear storytelling, the satirical subject matter discussed between the characters, and its introduction of 20th century score pieces typically seen deployed by Tarantino. Logic translated the storyline sonically by introducing scenes within the album, as well as offcuts within songs to help establish plot and context. Initial promotion of The Incredible True Story included worldwide video projections of the album's music and live television performances, as well as The Incredible World Tour.

The Incredible True Story received generally positive critical reception from critics, who commended Logic's increased involvement in the album's production and its direct nature and unique direction. It debuted at number three on the Billboard 200 and sold 135,000 album-equivalent units and 118,000 copies in its first week.
