With the talk raging about whether or not lyrics nonetheless matter in hip-hop, one one who has by no means wavered in carrying the flag for the spittas is JID.
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 means 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 nearly three years because the launch of his most up-to-date album The Perpetually Story, which obtained vital acclaim. Final spring, he scored his first solo prime 40 hit on the Billboard Sizzling 100 chart when the only “Encompass Sound” went viral on social media.
Although JID’s first hit was powered by a push from social media, a “TikTok rapper” he isn’t. 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 nearly over.
In a current interview with I-D journal, JID introduced his new album is completed and nearly able to be launched to the plenty.
“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 feel we’re in an excellent place to construct this new world.”
This seems to be a separate challenge from the joint album with Metro Boomin that has been teased. So, it seems like the potential of getting two initiatives 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 tune mode, followers of mainstream lyrical rap ought to relaxation simple understanding JID is locked and loaded.
