Experience the raw and captivating storytelling of IDK in his latest album, Simple City. This 8-track project paints an honest picture of the neighborhood known as Simple City in southeast Washington, D.C. IDK explains that the name stems from the pervasive violence in the area, where even the simplest actions can have dire consequences.
In his own words, IDK shares, ‘There’s a neighborhood in my city called Simple City. It gets its name because you can get killed for any simple reason.’ This album not only highlights the struggles of drug abuse, crime, and murder but also aims to educate listeners about the complexities of life in disadvantaged black communities.
