AceShowbiz - Out of all the up-and-coming rappers today, J.I.D. is definitely among the brightest ones. Following the success of his debut album "The Never Story" in 2017, the Atlanta native was named one of XXL's 2018 Freshman Class honorees. He further elaborated his accomplishment by releasing his second album "DiCaprio 2" in June 2018 to critical acclaim.
Aaron Williams of Uproxx called the album "the blueprint for the next generation of talent in the rap game," while Mitch Findlay of HotNewHipHop said that the album had "positioned him for something truly monumental." One critic even expected J.I.D. to have his breakout next year due to his "mind bending rhyme schemes, unique delivery and intricate lyricism."
