Jay IDK’s SubTrap was one of my favorite projects this year, putting himself in that Fat Trel, GoldLink and Shy Glizzy echelon of the DMV’s next-up. He’s bringing substance to the trap scene (SubTrap, get it?) and picking up new fans exponentially along the way. Almost a rite of passage for the new wave of artists, Jay sat down with fellow DMV native Peter Rosenberg for his Real Late show to discuss his grassroots movement, a bevvy of other DMV artists making a push and his unique approach to making music. If you weren’t already convinced to check him out, he spit something mean too.
