IDK - Simple

IDK - Simple

The name of the 8-track project is Simple, which refers to a neighborhood called “Simple City” in southeast Washington, D.C.. According to the rapper, the area got its namesake as a result of the senseless violence that occurs there.

“There’s a neighborhood in my city called ‘Simple City,’” IDK said in a statement. “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.”

More on IDK:

Born Jason Mills, IDK began his musical journey after he was convicted of armed robbery about a decade ago. While behind bars, he would write raps and spit them for fellow inmates to pass the time. After being released in 2012, he found someone who’d let him use his studio for free. While he’d enrolled in community college, he eventually stopped attending classes and began focusing on a rap career he wasn’t yet convinced would work. He unloaded his debut project, Sex, Drugs & Homework, in 2014. That same year, he unleashed “Hungry,” a boom-bap track laced with bars about a fractured suburban upbringing and the hunger for rap game dominance.
