IDK – DENiM (feat. Joey Bada$$) [Single + Video]

In “DENiM,” IDK teams up with Joey Bada$$ to lay down a track that’s both raw and reflective, serving up a solid piece that stands out compared to the stacks of rap numbers coming out nowadays. The single is an airtight mix of soulful sounds and laid back yet assertive flows that piece out the double-edged sword of fame and staying true to yours in a world full of flash. The behind-the-scenes magic from producers TaeBeast, Mario Luciano, and Rascal mixes old-school vibes with a fresh twist, creating a sound mix that’s both beefy and full of life.

At its core, “DENiM” touches on murky themes about personal growth and how the world sees us – with IDK and Joey trading bars that pick apart the differences of how we’re viewed versus who we are. But never does the single come across as broody or moody. IDK’s words, “I put my cheddar where my mouth is/ just to keep my mouth fed/ Thought the green would get respect, but all I got was Grouch’s” aren’t just a display of his way with words but also drop a sober take on the push and pull between wealth and respect.

Set to drop as part of the much-anticipated BRAVADO INTIMO, “DENiM” hints at a fresh chapter for IDK, mixing his flair for sparking deep rhymes with an ear for picking soul-gripping soundscapes. It’s a cut that’s bound to hit the right note with folks who dig sharp-as-a-dart rhymes backed by head-nodding rhythms – marking another win for both the artists and the artform.
