Jay IDK Gears up for Debut LP #Subtrap

August 5, 2015By BobbyPenMusic

In a time where it looks like Hip Hop is topsy turvy almost leaving fans to pick a side: conscious or ratchet, new competitor Jay IDK enters the game providing something for everyone.

With the DMV on his back, Jay IDK is currently preparing to release his highly anticipated debut LP, SubTrap. The clever name is a fusion of the words Suburban and Trap, which represents a paradox of trap music with substance. Is this even possible? We’ll find out on August 25th.

Jay IDK’s team says,

Loosely based on the life of the London-born emcee, the forthcoming album gives an unbiased account of life on both sides of the drug game. Personified through the characters: Chris, Jon Jon, Matt, Ed and King Trappy III (pictured on the LP’s artwork) who you should already be familiar with if you’ve listened to the album’s debut single “The Plug”, which was [debuted] back in March via COMPLEX.

#SubTrap was mixed by Delbert Bowers (Yeezus, Long.Live.A$AP, The Marshall Mathers LP2), the projects artwork was crafted by graphic artist Nicky Chulo (GoldLink, Chaz French, REVOLT TV) while production duties were split between in-house instrumentalist Lo-Fi, TDE frequent collaborator Skhyehutch (Kendrick Lamar’s good kid, m.A.A.d city hymn “I’m Dying of Thirst”), Tobari, GameBrand, The Glitch Mob, Noose, Mister Temptation, The Watcherz and Jay himself.

Watch the Jacob Legaurdia (Last Vegas, Are You Here, Susie’s Hope) directed teaser below then head over to iTunes and pre-order your digital copy to be one of the first to experience the well constructed collection of sounds the world will soon know as #SubTrap when it’s officially released on August 25th!
