Bravado + Intimo (shortened and stylized as B.i.) is the fifth studio album by British-American rapper and record producer IDK. It was self-released on November 1, 2024. The album features guest appearances from Gunna, Joey Badass, Conway the Machine, and TheArtist. Production was primarily handled by IDK himself, alongside Tae Beast, Mario Luciano, Blwyrmnd, and Turbo, among others. A deluxe edition, Bravado Intimo... or (Continued...), was released on February 25, 2025, adding 8 new tracks and guest appearances from Denzel Curry and Ab-Soul.
Following IDK's fourth studio album F65, Bravado + Intimo is considered to have trap and jazz influences.[1]
In an interview with Hypebeast on November 5, IDK described why the songs are labeled with an B or an I after the title; these stand for bravado and intimo respectively. IDK describes the meanings of bravado and intimo, with bravado being the braggadocio, and intimo being internal thoughts and desires that IDK describes as his "true self."[2]
IDK released the album's first single, "Denim" featuring Joey Badass on March 29, 2024.[3][4][5] He released the album's second single, "Tiffany" featuring Gunna, on June 21, 2024.[6][7] "Kickin", the album's third single, was released on September 11, 2024.[8] On October 10, 2024, IDK announced the album's release date and tracklist.[9] The album's fourth single, "Supernova" was released on October 18, 2024.[10]
Writing for The Observer, Damien Morris was critical of the album's lyrics, writing that "IDK’s rhymes rarely rise to the beats’ level."[1]
