Even the Devil Smiles【TAPE】- .idk.

メリーランド州出身、17歳という年齢での投獄、そして早期釈放を勝ち取った過去を持つラッパーのidkによる2026年1月に名門RhymesayersよりリリースされたMIX TAPE『Even the Devil Smiles』のテープエディションをストックいたしました！

ゲストにはMadlib、No I.D.を始めとするもはや説明不要のプロデューサーたちやBLACK THOUGHT、RZA、PUSHA Tなどのベテラン勢、フレッシュなJoey Valence & Braeなどが参加し、作品の強度をさらに底上げしています！

そして特筆すべきは昨年に来日公演も果たしたKaytranadaのエネルギッシュなプロダクションにより故DMXの素晴らしいバースを引き立てているA8『START 2 FiNiSH - S.T.F. FT. DMX』、Griselda周辺、直近ではDrakeとの楽曲も記憶に新しいConductor Williamsのスモーキーなビート上でidkと故MF DOOMのバースが交わるB11『FLAKKA FT. MF DOOM』！！！自身の過去の経験を作品に表現してきた彼の最高傑作とも言うべき作品を是非！

We’ve stocked the cassette edition of the mixtape *Even the Devil Smiles*, released in January 2026 by the renowned label Rhymesayers, by rapper idk—a Maryland native who was imprisoned at the age of 17 but later secured early release!

Featuring guests like Madlib and No I.D.—producers who need no introduction—along with veterans such as BLACK THOUGHT, RZA, and PUSHA T, as well as fresh faces like Joey Valence & Brae, this release takes the album’s intensity to new heights!

Notable tracks include A8, “START 2 FiNiSH - S.T.F. FT. DMX,” where the late DMX’s incredible verses are highlighted by Kaytranada’s energetic production (Kaytranada also performed in Japan last year); and where idk and the late MF DOOM’s verses intertwine over a smoky beat by Conductor Williams—a figure closely associated with Griselda and best known for his recent collaboration with Drake. “FLAKKA FT. MF DOOM”!!! Be sure to check out what could be called his masterpiece, a work that expresses his own past experiences!
