Now, I’ve been following Jay’s work since the “Shotty Mouth” days when he was still trying to find his sound. In my interview with him from 2014, the HXLY TRiBE leader made mention that he was aiming to change the game and change the way that folks looked at DMV music. So, any new Jay […]
Read moreWhat’s Your Addiction? – Exploring the Characters in @Jay_IDK’s Subtrap
This is a throwback piece that I wrote some time ago regarding Jay IDK’s 2015 release Subtrap. It has never seen the light of day–until now. It’s been said that everyone has their vices in life. Even the seemingly harmless ones, if obsessed about enough, can turn into an enveloping lifestyle. In Jay IDK’s Subtrap, […]

The track in question was finally released for all ears today as Charlie and Jay IDK can’t find their keys after a wild night. Blending Jay’s subtrap sound with Charlie’s flows makes for a […]
Read moreNew Music Review – @JayIDK: #Subtrap
Now, usually, with reviews, I’d condense everything down to three hundred words. But, today? We’ve got something a bit different. Today, we’ve been blessed with some Subtrap as DMV native, SpeedontheBeat.com alum, and all-around rocket-jetpack-possessing artist Jay-IDK drops his debut. Subtrap (suburban, but substance-driven trap music) is all about embracing the ignorance while still delivering knowledge, […]
