This is his most recent body of work since ‘USEE4YOURSELF‘ featuring artists like Young Thug, Westside Gunn, MF DOOM, Lucky Daye, The Neptunes, and more.

With features from Denzel Curry and Mike Dimes, IDK definitely delivered 18 minutes of dance floor magic and depth. He explains that he “wanted to create an album where people can dance to real shit.”

“It’s eleven o’clock, on the dot, I’m on the block
Ain’t no time for no sleepin’ or yawnin’, or whatnot
Twelve running around creepin’ and peepin’ for the drop
We be moving with caution, the block is really hot”

In the same statement, IDK explains the origins of the title ‘Simple:’

“There’s a neighborhood in my city called ‘Simple City. “It gets its name because you can get killed for any simple reason. Simple City is also the birthplace of Marvin Gaye. I wanted to tell the story of Simple City in a way that it’s never been told before. From drug abuse to crime and murder, I wanted to cover what it feels like to be from Simple City and teach the world that the fix to helping disadvantaged black communities isn’t as simple as you think.”

Hopefully, a Tiny Desk will be in the works. This is definitely one of those projects that absolutely require live performances!
