JID Vinyl & CDs

Review: JID's debut album 'The Never Story' enabled him a foothold on the international rap circuit back in 2017, thanks to its breakage from the Atlanta trend of mumble rap, and delving into clearer lyricism - while still remaining entrenched and respected in his scene of origin. For those hungry for more in the vein of Kendrick Lamar or JID's buddy J Cole, this is an album for you. Tracks like 'Never' are dark yet hooking bangers, with lyrics nodding to the artist's utmost core values - humility and realness.

Review: JID's newest album The Forever Story is big on guests with the likes of heavyweight names Yasiin Bey, Lil Wayne, and more all featuring. The Grammy-nominated rapper from Atlanta is one of the best of the current crop with a diehard fan base and this 15 track record will only add to that. It's a storytelling work with some next-level wordplay and lyricism all delivered over chopped up samples and head-nodding, compelling beat work. As long as the new cuts, previously released tracks 'Dance Now' and 'Surround Sound' also feature.
