JID Displays Impressive Scope Of His Talents On New ‘The Forever Story’ LP [Review]

wazup Comments Closed 202 views

HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Scott Dudelson / Getty JID should be a superstar in every respect, but it appears that he has a sizeable amount of doubters alongside his droves of fans.

As it stands, JID is one of the best rappers of his generation and has been for at least a decade despite not having a career-defining project that separates him from his peers. Dating back to his DiCaprio EP debut for Dreamville Records/Interscope in 2015, the promise has always been high for the Atlanta artist. JID’s debut album, The Never Story, expanded on his sound and proved that the rapper, born Destin Route, was one to watch...

Roc Marciano and The Alchemist are no strangers to one another. Alchemist and Marc notably began working with one another in 2012 on the Reloaded album, an important release in the Hempstead, Long Island, N.Y. rapper’s catalog. The connection established over a decade ago still stands strong and anticipation that the two would lock in for a full project remained high for years. It g...

At first, it looked like a mirage. On the way to Coachella 2022, in the middle of the California desert, a sign appeared. No date, no details — just a billboard teasing that Scottish superstar producer and master collaborator Calvin Harris was on his way back. Explore See latest videos, charts and news See latest videos, charts and news On Friday (Aug. 5), the thirst that started that afternoon in the desert has been quenched.
