The Atlanta rapper’s evolution from his origins as a solo artist and a part of the group Spillage Village has been spectacular. His fluid capacity to sew collectively spectacular rhyme schemes is uncanny. Sufficient to earn him a spot on J. Cole’s Dreamville roster in 2017, the place he is continued to point out and show that he is one the sport’s elite lyricists.
It has been virtually three years for the reason that launch of his most up-to-date album The Endlessly Story, which obtained essential acclaim. Final spring, he scored his first solo high 40 hit on the Billboard Scorching 100 chart when the one “Encompass Sound” went viral on social media.
Although JID’s first hit was powered by a push from social media, a “TikTok rapper” he’s not. Within the years since his album launch, options like “Crazier” with Ab-Soul and John Legend’s “Dope” have left followers clamoring for extra. The wait seems to be virtually over.
In a latest interview with I-D journal, JID introduced his new album is completed and virtually able to be launched to the lots.
“It is accomplished. It is turned in. It has been turned in,” JID revealed. “It is coming actually f**ing quickly. It has been a very long time within the making. All of the T’s are crossed and I’s are dotted and I believe we’re in a very good place to construct this new world.”
This seems to be a separate undertaking from the joint album with Metro Boomin that has been teased. So, it seems to be like the opportunity of getting two tasks from the Georgia lyricist could also be excessive.
Whereas Tyler, The Creator is on tour, Kendrick Lamar preps for a cross-country jaunt himself, Cole is on hiatus and Drake is in love music mode, followers of mainstream lyrical rap ought to relaxation simple understanding JID is locked and loaded.
