Atlanta’s Grammy-nomiated J.I.D is back his latest and most ambitious LP, The Forever Story, the follow-up to his 2018 solo project, 2018’s DiCaprio 2.
Born and raised in East Atlanta, Grammy nominated J.I.D has been heralded as “one of rap’s best storytellers” (Rolling Stone). He grew up on his parents’ collection of classic funk/soul LPs, and broke onto the scene with his 2015 EP, ‘DiCaprio’. When J.I.D joined hip hop duo EARTHGANG on tour, he was spotted by J.Cole who promptly signed him to his Interscope Records venture, Dreamville Records.
Soon after signing to Dreamville, he made his major-label debut with the widely celebrated ‘The Never Story’ (2017), followed up quickly by the critically acclaimed album ‘DiCaprio 2’ (2018). The sophomore project received major looks from critics and helped induct the rapper to the year’s XXL’s Freshmen class. In 2019, J.I.D continued his momentum with stellar contributions to Dreamville’s Platinum certified compilation ‘Revenge of the Dreamers III’ which went on to debut #1 on the Billboard Top 200 charts and received multiple GRAMMY nominations including “Best Rap Album” and “Best Rap Performance.”
