Music Album - Logic’s newest album - G Eazy Explicit songs being censored

I’ve had Logics new album since it released. Added it to a playlist; been listening to it ever since. A couple days ago I went to listen to the album again, found half the album greyed out. Attempted to play a song that was greyed out.. “Unavailable in your country” however when I go to the Apple Music app; search through it manually I can listen to the whole album.. I don’t get it.


Almost every G Eazy song I put on my phone (Explicit) turns out to be censored when added to my playlist. I don’t have any issues with any other artist except G Eazy songs. (I have no restrictions of any sort both on iTunes and iPhone)

It may be that the artist or their representatives have uploaded a new version of the tracks, thereby invalidating the previous versions (see last bullet below). That would explain finding the working version in Search. Remove the old version from your Library and replace it with a new version from Search.

If your songs appear in light gray text
Your songs might appear in iTunes in light gray text for a variety of reasons. Those reasons include:
● You're not connected to iCloud Music Library. If you see a Disconnected icon in the upper-right corner of iTunes, you're not connected to iCloud Music Library. Click the icon to reconnect.
● The song isn't in Apple Music or isn't available in your current country or region. These songs also appear in gray if you search for them in Apple Music.
● Restrictions are turned on for explicit tracks. Learn more about Restrictions.
● An artist or content provider made changes or edits to an album. You might need to remove the album from your library and add it back from the Apple Music catalog.
