The track "MiLES TRUMPET (i)" beautifully showcases the strong jazz influence we're presented with on IDK's newest body of work BRAVADO + INTiMO.

U.S.-based rapper IDK is hands down one of the most lyrically gifted rappers orbiting the underground right now. On "MiLES TRUMPET (i)", he leans towards creating an intimate listening experience and this sentiment doesn't only echo through the instrumental, but also when it comes to the vocals. His soulful voice (yes, he is singing here) complements the cries of the brass especially in the chorus where the track blossoms to life. His verses are smooth and calm however when we dive into the lyricism, we're acquinted with a man who is open and vulnerable regarding insecurities around romance - making this quite a relatable track for many.
