IDK – IDK & Friends :)

Critically-acclaimed DMV rapper IDK drops off his EP IDK & Friends :), a 7-track project with his fellow peers and friends. The EP, which was distributed by HXLY, LLC/Foundation Media, includes his three recent, hard-hitting singles “Once Upon A Time (Freestyle)” featuring Denzel Curry, “Moral” featuring Maxo Kream, and “Electric” featuring Q Da Fool. IDK also taps fellow DMV native Wale and Rico Nasty for collaborations.

When discussing the EP, IDK shares, “I wanted to make everything effortless and non-conceptual; I didn’t want to make this particular project a story. I just got with my rap friends and used this as an opportunity to challenge myself and make better hooks.” He also reveals that the tracks highlight his “raw and uncut thoughts.”

ABOUT IDK

DMV rapper IDK (Ignorantly Delivering Knowledge) has been on a hot streak since his standout year in 2017. His 2018 single “No Wave” featuring tourmate Denzel Curry gave IDK a catchy, bass-heavy track that led to over three million Spotify plays. A more recent drop however, was IDK’s braggadocious “Lil Arrogant” with Joey Bada$$ and Russ, which immediately landed in the Top 10 on SoundCloud and continues to rise. After releasing the critically-acclaimed album IWASVERYBAD in partnership with Adult Swim, embarking on a sold-out European tour with Joey Bada$$, and an explosive performance at the inaugural Rolling Loud SoCal festival last December, he was rightfully named one of the “Best New Artists of 2017” by Pigeons and Planes and was featured in Red Bull’s 2018 “Artists To Watch” Campaign. IWASVERYBAD is a vivid autobiography of the 25-year-old’s life; it explores the narrative of IDK’s adolescence–a journey of loss, redemption and eventual triumph–retelling the moments that led to his teenage incarceration and confronting the loss of his mother. Featuring guest appearances from Chief Keef, Swizz Beatz, DOOM, Del The Funky Homosapien, Yung Gleesh, Mother Marygold and more, IWASVERYBAD earned a spot on several major publications’ “Best of 2017” lists including Vulture’s “Best Albums of 2017 So Far,” Genius’ “50 Best Albums of 2017,” Noisey’s “36 Best Overlooked Albums of 2017” and DJ Booth’s “50 Best Hip-Hop and R&B Albums of 2017.” Recently, the young rapper released the fiery single “Star” and embarked on the “Mad Man Tour” with A$AP Ferg and Denzel Curry, performing in cities across the United States.
