IWasVeryBad is the fourth mixtape and a short film by American rapper IDK. It was released in full on October 13, 2017, through Adult Swim.[1] The cinematic album features Swizz Beatz, Yung Gleesh, MF Doom, Del the Funky Homosapien, Mother Marygold, and Chief Keef as guest performers, and was recorded throughout 2017.[2] The music was released through Adult Swim as an episodic series, with three tracks released September 29 and October 6, the two Fridays before October 13.
In the 35-minute short film, IDK reenacts the events that led to his arrest and imprisonment at age 17.[3]
A review published by Vice referred to IWasVeryBad as IDK's "most introspective release since his first mixtape in 2014", arguing that "the most poignant parts" were about how he grieves his mother's death" in a manner that is "remorseful yet unrepentant".
