The Forever Story is JID’s third studio album and his most personal project yet. It features a slew of special guests including rap luminaries Yasiin Bey, Lil Wayne, 21 Savage and collaborators Lil Durk, EARTHGANG, Kenny Mason, Ari Lennox and many more helping to anchor the project. Acting as a prequel, each track on the album acts as a chapter in the origin story of JID — a collegiate football athlete turned rapper. Ahead of the album dropping on all platforms, JID shared a vignette titled “Coin Toss” to further illustrate the biographical nature of his album. Directed by Allan Maldonado (“Black-ish”; “Sneakerheads”; “The Last O.G”) the short can be viewed below:

About JID —
Born and raised in East Atlanta, Grammy nominated JID grew up on his parents’ collection of classic funk/soul LPs, and broke onto the scene with his 2015 EP, DiCaprio. The EP saw him collaborating with hip-hop duo EARTHGANG, whom he’d previously joined on a 2014 tour also including Bas and Ab-Soul. This is where he was spotted by J.Cole who promptly signed JID to his Interscope Records venture, Dreamville Records. Soon after signing to Dreamville, JID made his major-label debut with the widely celebrated The Never Story (2017) which was quickly followed by the critically acclaimed album DiCaprio 2 (2018).
The sophomore project received major looks from press and tastemakers like Rolling Stone, Billboard, FADER, NPR and helped induct the rapper to the year’s XXL’s Freshmen class. In 2019, JID continued his momentum as rap’s most exciting additions with stellar contributions on 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.” JID began working on his follow up effort The Forever Story during this time all while selling out venues and festival stages across the world and lending his rap stylings to peer projects including the Grammy nominated Planet HER by Doja Cat as well as Dua Lipa, Denzel Curry, Amine and more recently John Legend and Joey Badass. JID’s nimble, head-nodding lyricism and lightning fast flow has awarded him a loyal and cult-like fanbase and his dedication to perfecting the art is sportsman-like, leaving room for him to be one of rap’s greatest in the making.
