IDK has been bubbling for quite a while now, going all the way back to 2015, and it looks like the frequentDenzel Curry collaborator is finally ready to boil over. The Maryland-bred rapper just released his debut album Is He Real? via his own label Clue.
The album will feature two of the rapper's biggest looks yet: the tracks "24" and "Digital." Those songs have already appeared on the radar of sports gamers, cropping up on the soundtracks to Madden 20 and the latest NBA 2K.

Shortly after the release of the record, IDK posted on Twitter to reveal that there's one guest who didn't make the final cut of the album due to clearance issues. "I had to take Frank Ocean off of the album because I didn't get the clearance in time," he tweeted. "Frank Ocean is my favorite artist of this generation and I would have pushed the album back again but I couldn't do that to my fans. I do aprpeciate his team for reaching out to get it cleared."
Unfortunately, he did not reveal whether the song will ever see the light of day.
In addition to Real?, IDK shared a string of tour dates that will carry him across the US and back home to Maryland in the months of October and November. Give the album a listen up top and check out opportunities to catch him live down below.
