Idris who appears on the cover of August's Essence Magazine, is also working on a CD that he hopes to release this year. The former club deejay (weren't we all) has a burgeoning music career in addition to his acting.

“But that said, Beyoncé is the kind of person that would say, ‘Yo ’Dris, let me hear what you got, let me see what you’re doing,’ and maybe steer me in the right direction — if I had asked,” says Elba, laughing again.
“But I didn’t.”
