YSIV (abbreviation of Young Sinatra IV) is Logic's fourth studio album and fourth release under the Young Sinatra moniker. The album artwork, which features Logic's mugshot, is a recreation of Frank Sinatra's famous mugshot and a throwback to the artwork of Logic's second mixtape, titled Young Sinatra (released 2011). YSIV is a sequel to Young Sinatra: Welcome to Forever (2013) and is also the final installment in the Young Sinatra series. It features guest appearances from all living members of the Wu Tang Clan (Track 6: "Wu Tang Forever"), Wale (Track 7: "100 Miles and Running"), Jaden (Track 13: "ICONIC"), Ryan Tedder (Track 5: "One Day"), actor/singer Hailee Steinfeld (Track 8: "Ordinary Day"), and others.
YSIV is easily Logic's best work by far, and also contains some of his fastest verses. On "100 Miles and Running" featuring Wale and John Lindahl, Logic spits out not one, but two, verses at a rate of 11.7 syllables per second, faster than both "Godzilla" and "Rap God", easily securing his place among the fastest lyricists of all time. "The Glorious Five" also contains a verse at approximately 10.91 SPS and "ICONIC" (featuring Jaden Smith) has a verse at 11.5 SPS.
