IDK

🫡

This mixtape stands out on its own, even outside the IDK universe, and it’s already a strong contender for the best rap project of the year, if not one of the best albums. The production by No I.D., Conductor Williams, and IDK himself is incredibly gangster, frenetic, loud, and just overall amazing. The idea of IDK sharing his incarceration and his journey to redemption is a perfect match for this future classic. I’m really looking forward to seeing the follow-up, which is already recorded and pressed.
