Looking to bridge the gap between both the conscious and cool, DMV native Jay IDK prepares for the release of his highly anticipated album, “SubTrap.”
“SubTrap,” short for Suburban Trap, serves as a paradox of trap music with substance. Loosely based on the life of the London born emcee, the forthcoming LP 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 albums 1st single “The Plug,” which was liberated back in March (2015) via COMPLEX.
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 LaGuardia (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.
