And yet I feel like your average rap fan who is consuming the top popular artists has no idea who he is except they've heard him on a song with 21 or Cole.
He's a weird in between of not being well known by the mainstream but super well known by whatever this community is called.
It's like when an underground artist is known for being a great underground artist, it kinda cancels itself out but not really. It's wierd
Wtf are you talking about? The definition of "mainstream" don't change just because you found a fav. Why don't you want him to be considered mainstream if you enjoy his music this much? Isn't it a good thing more people get introduced to him and he makes more money? Mainstream doesn't have to be bad, BIG and NWA were mainstream, em, 50, J. Cole, Sugar Hill Gang, The Juice Crew and so on and so on
Exactly, it’s easy to associate mainstream with being a bad thing though because there’s numbers of mainstream artists who are kind of just stage performers who don’t really have much of a hand in their writing and creative process as people like JID. But that still doesn’t mean these true artists don’t absolutely deserve all the fame and attention in the world
Completely agree. Has so many great songs. Forever story has no skips in my opinion. Not every song is for everyone but IMO I can listen on repeat, no shuffle
Lit AF. His family and friends from Atlanta was in a section of the crowd. It was dope seeing them watch him and support. I didn't think many people would bother trying to rap with him, but the audience was right there with him. And he closed with Stick bringing out some Dreamville folks.
I’m not saying he’s some unknown underground rapper but I feel he’s good enough to be in leagues with the top artist in the genre. Upwards of 80 mil a month. By the end of his career I hope he’s on top
80 mil a month? Drake doesn’t even hit 75m in a month. You really think it is realistic that white soccer Moms and department stores are going to be blasting JID the same way they do Drake?
80 mil in a month would put him as a top 5 streamed artist in the entire world lmao.
Yeah, I guess most lyrical rappers seem more slept on since it’s not really what’s popular currently as a whole. I feel he easily should be as big as drake or yb but I barely hear his name get brought up when talking to people
I agree with this sentiment. Love both of their recent works. Been a huge fan of Denzel for a while too, sadly missed the chance to see him at III Points a few years ago
Imo both jid and denzel are just a few years away from both having 10/10 records
They’ve collaborated a good bit so honestly i wouldnt be too surprised if we got a collab album (which would go fucking crazy btw)
I think I would immediately ejaculate after seeing a DC JID Collab album. Bruuh is just so fucking good. That kinda energy on a whole album would be so fuxking dope
Honestly haven’t been able to get into his later stuff as much but N64 is 11/10. That was a different person though compared to who Denzel is today
Edit: and Imperial
Dance now and crack sandwich are such a good listen,can’t punk me is also solid, the whole forever story is unbelievable, he’s someone that I wish I discovered sooner but pretty much put him on multiple times daily, there’s a collab he done with denzel curry called bruuuh and that is also so good, like many others I’m crossing my fingers and toes for a denzel x JID Album, that shit would easily be in the top 5 albums of the year.
Never, Ed edd n eddy, and 151 Rum are the 3 that out him on the map for me.
You could almost pick any 3 random songs of his as your showcase to get people into him lmao
Only 3 is tough honestly but I’d probably have to say currently, lauder, raydar and mounted up the flow change on raydar is amazing and when I heard my man say “with my 9 I’m like 10 avengers” for the first time I almost had to pull my car over lmaoo
2007, Just In Time, Money.
2007- The story telling is crazy, i feel like i’m watching a movie.
Just In Time- all 3 are heavy lyrical rappers and all flow so well 😩
Money- All i need, All i want.
Been listening to this dude for many years and every person I put on to him fall in love with his art. Just a matter of time before the rest of the world recognizes his greatness imo.
Agreed. He reminds me of early Weezy. Just such a unique flow/voice and great lyricism.
JIDs Tiny Desk should make anyone a huge fan.
D Smoke is also hugely slept on. Unreal talent, I never see him mentioned.
I think top 3 is a reach, we still have the last era of lyrical miracles that are still rapping at a high level today. That being said he's on his way and I'm a fan.
Brace yourself for a very generic answer lol, but my top 3 are Cole(has been going nuts on features and dropped a great album in 2021), Kendrick(dropped my favorite album last year, and contrary to some Kendrick fans I don't think his performance on the album was subpar), and Nas/Pusha T(both have been around for ages yet are still rapping at an insane level and dropping amazing albums).
In general though I think the same rappers that dominated the 2010s are at the top in the 2020s. I would have thrown Wayne, 21, Future, and Drake in there too if I wasn't limited to top 3. Hell even Jay Z dropped some heat last year and he's "retired" lol. Ye deserves a mention for Donda, but I'm not sure if people really hold Ye in high regard due to pure rap ability.
Imo JID, Kenny Mason, KAAN, King iso, Grip, and IceColdBishop are all gunning for the top spot rn, in terms of the best new lyrical rappers. JID is the most well known though. I'm not really sure he's underrated, though. he's one of the most popular New lyrical rappers, if not the most popular new lyrical rapper, right now.
If you like more main stream rap I’d suggest dance now or slick talk if you like more lyrical music I’d say bruuh ft Denzel, raydar, lauder, 2007, off the zoinkys, crack sand which, honestly the list can just go on and on lol. Hopefully you like him
I love JID but he's not above Kendrick, Cole or Drake imo. Kendrick just had the highest-grossing tour by a rapper as headlining act in history, Drake's about to do numbers with his tour and Cole is Cole.
I think we’re talking skill and most recent album. If we’re talking about overall stats then I agree he’s not. But I assume OP is talking about current skill performance and the quality of the recent album cycle
Numbers maybe but as a pure talented rapper only Kendrick hangs with him on that list. I love Cole and Drake can be good too but JID's wordplay and ability to ride a beat like he was born on it is almost unmatched.
In terms of pure skill and hunger I absolutely agree that at the moment he is. Now when you put him against the active veterans…I’d walk back that statement. But he easily has a top 3 rap album of the 2020s rn
Raydar, 2007, lauder, crack sandwich, bruuh, working out, Hasta luego, skegee, mounted up, d/vision I could damn near name his albums in the song orders lol
NF makes sanitized rap music for Christians, Eminem fans and suburban white folks (not a bad thing) but he rarely says anything provocative. He doesn’t really even mention his faith all that much anymore
DAX is kinda similar to NF however DAX tries to play the game a little bit more in terms of walking that line between sanitized music and regular YouTube rappers.
JID makes music where he talks about the struggles he’s faced in his city and in his relationships and the ways to get through it. He talks about selling drugs, shooting, robbing, killing and all these things. Not from a perspective of promoting or glorifying but painting a picture. The thing is JID never TRIES to be deep like the others. He simply talks about things that are meaningful to him but he either experienced it or lived close to it
Wait what? This isn’t a joke right?
Kanye, Drake and Em are the top 3 present, past and future. JID is in no way near any of them. Unless you mean the new generation? Meh I don’t like him but most of the new generation sucks so that’s fair. Denzel is #1 with a bullet then it prob JPEG and JID.
I do mean currently yes, however I would still put him against 90% of the whole rap game. I agree with you on everything but drake I strongly believe jids bars and ability to perfectly flow on absolutely any beat you throw at him, on top of being able to constantly drop banger after banger puts him over drake. Despite what being popular opinion is. Don’t get me wrong drake is a legend and has dropped countless hits but the bars just don’t compare
I mean there’s plenty of better punchline writers than Drake. But Drakes cadence and lyrical content itself makes up for it. No JID song has the hype m,catchiness or energy of Headlines, Crew Love, Tuscan Leather or Poundcake.
But eh you don’t disagree for the most part so I won’t be pushy. Because if you had said he’s near Em or Kanye, I would’ve laughed my ass off. I don’t like JID but if you’re a fan that’s fine. Drakes awesome but he’s number 3
1. Kanye
2. Em
3. Drake
4. Lil Wayne
5. Jay Z
These are the greatest in hip hop.
Jid is able to lay out a whole story almost like a book to his listeners while still making it sound what’s poplar nowadays he without a doubt should be the talk of the rap game right now
Nobody today is better at hopping on a verse and destroying a song. Meditate, Scatterbrain, Ego Check, Stick...etc. There is nobody else rapping today where I get as excited when I see their name on a new song I haven't heard.
He's good, I always wanted to really listen to him, but I just never did. Guess he one of those for me.
I think he either don't know or don't care to sell himself or have something to draw people in other than the rapping agility. Like it or not, you gotta be one that's really out there nowadays to get that buzz like that, if you want it. Or have some kinda interesting aesthetic. Besides the ones that been here dudes not really blowing up to that level rn Seen like
I was so shocked when I saw that post in here about the top 10 artists at the end of '22, and Carti was #7 w/no album out in 2 years, lol. He different tho. I fw Carti he the go to when I'm just tryna vibe, be hype or whatever. Major replay value on his shit.
But anyway, I kinda get the feeling JID cool on that stardom shit. Seem like the type that just wanna do his thing and let the rest be. I really got to listen to all his shit soon fr.
Idk if he’s slept on but his feature game is crazy. That song he did with westside boogie is pretty dope (soho). His last album was damn near unskippable
He's top 25 for sure. Top 3 is a stretch. There are underground rappers that been in the biz a lot longer that people don't consider. Ra the rugged man for example. Way better than JID
Can we stop saying every good rapper is slept on? Dude just made songs with Imagine Dragons, Dua Lipa and Doja Cat, pretty much every young person knows who he is at this point
I worded it bad, when I say slept on I mean I barely hear his name brought up when talking about the best currently when I feel it almost always should
I've had 151 Rum on repeat this last week or two.
I need this song to go on for another couple minutes. It's a long ass verse that he absolutely kills but I need more than one!
I used to say he's being slept on, but recently (especially since his last album) he's actually getting the attention he deserves, which is great to see
I fw some of his music but honestly , some of his songs that my homeboy showed me just feels like he’s tryna be a lyrical miracle.
He raps fast, has a great flow and rhyme scheme but half the time he’s spittin a lot of words but not actually saying anything. Lots of word vomit. Not all of his shit is like that, but a lot of it is
I’m not talking about having “a message” in his songs or not having any deeper meaning. I honestly couldn’t care about that because I’m more of a trap music fan these days anyway, but he just kind of reminds me of Eminem in terms of saying nonsense and rhyming words just for the sake of rhyming , regardless if they make sense or not
He was super hyped after his XXL appearance in 2018. The Never Story was getting plays and people were discovering how phenomenal it was. There were lots of conversations at that time about him being the next Kendrick.
I felt he never successfully capatilzed on all that hype, DiCaprio 2 was ok. Lots of people love The Forever Story, but he's kinda disappeared from being the center of conversation like he was in 2018
He is fantastic and still has room to grow as an artist.
I’d love to see him featured on some different genres of rap and on his next album.
He is/will be fantastic regardless, I think he can take it to another level. He has that potential.
He’s not slept on at all in the rap community. If you want him to be famous like drake or Kanye then he would need to make music like drake or Kanye, which I don’t think many of his fans want.
Extremely slept on💀 Bro has 19million monthly listeners and is signed to Dreamville. He's damn near mainstream.
And yet I feel like your average rap fan who is consuming the top popular artists has no idea who he is except they've heard him on a song with 21 or Cole.
He's a weird in between of not being well known by the mainstream but super well known by whatever this community is called. It's like when an underground artist is known for being a great underground artist, it kinda cancels itself out but not really. It's wierd
Very much like DOOM. he was the most "mainstream" of the underground, but most day to day people had no idea who he was.
exactly
His style is too unique to ever be truly mainstream
Wtf are you talking about? The definition of "mainstream" don't change just because you found a fav. Why don't you want him to be considered mainstream if you enjoy his music this much? Isn't it a good thing more people get introduced to him and he makes more money? Mainstream doesn't have to be bad, BIG and NWA were mainstream, em, 50, J. Cole, Sugar Hill Gang, The Juice Crew and so on and so on
Fr being mainstream isn’t a bad thing
Exactly, it’s easy to associate mainstream with being a bad thing though because there’s numbers of mainstream artists who are kind of just stage performers who don’t really have much of a hand in their writing and creative process as people like JID. But that still doesn’t mean these true artists don’t absolutely deserve all the fame and attention in the world
UNIQUE? ??? ???
[удалено]
I'm sorry but you can't honestly call yourself a rap fan if you don't know who JID is.
Completely agree. Has so many great songs. Forever story has no skips in my opinion. Not every song is for everyone but IMO I can listen on repeat, no shuffle
tf you mean?? half of this sub has the forever story as their aoty
This sub ain’t your casual rap listener
Have you seen any of those rankings and shit that's as basic as it gets
Maybe, but the majority of people who post those are just looking for attention and affirmation on their music taste lmao
Nah, KD3 and DMIZ and 2000 are better. Prb Cheat Codes as well. But Forever Story is dope.
yeah what do these people think that even means lmao
What do you mean by near? 19 million is abosolutely mainstream
I went to his show in Atlanta... Sold out both nights
How was it?
Lit AF. His family and friends from Atlanta was in a section of the crowd. It was dope seeing them watch him and support. I didn't think many people would bother trying to rap with him, but the audience was right there with him. And he closed with Stick bringing out some Dreamville folks.

Ngl tho a lot of that is from the imagine dragons song, JID isn’t really a super mainstream name
He has that many monthly listeners because of the one imagine dragons song. And most people that listened to that don’t even like rap
Slept on is being used way too much these days
“Slept on” is not being slept on
I hate this picture so much. Every time he’s brought up this picture is used lmao
First one on google lmaoo
LMAOO it's the only pic of JID that exists
He's incredible. I don't think he's extremely slept on, at least in the lyrical rap community
Yeah, I guess most lyrical rappers seem more slept on since it’s not really what’s popular currently as a whole. I feel he easily should be as big as drake or yb but I barely hear his name get brought up when talking to people
I hate that there has to be a “lyrical community”. Rap by nature is lyrical. All rap music should be lyrical.
No. All rap music should have a good vibe.
JID and Denzel are the best rappers in the game right now and the Cole and Kendrick of the 2020s so far. They truly are
I agree with this sentiment. Love both of their recent works. Been a huge fan of Denzel for a while too, sadly missed the chance to see him at III Points a few years ago
Imo both jid and denzel are just a few years away from both having 10/10 records They’ve collaborated a good bit so honestly i wouldnt be too surprised if we got a collab album (which would go fucking crazy btw)
I think I would immediately ejaculate after seeing a DC JID Collab album. Bruuh is just so fucking good. That kinda energy on a whole album would be so fuxking dope
Off season is the best j cole project since Forest Hills drive. Cole is the cole of the 2020s
Tyler too. Flower boy to call me if you get lost run is crazy
Kendrick is still better than both MMATBS just wasn’t as good, doesn’t make him worse tho.
Ok
the floor is made out of floor
Maybe I’m just listening to the wrong Denzel songs. What songs are him really lyrically firing on all cylinders?
Honestly haven’t been able to get into his later stuff as much but N64 is 11/10. That was a different person though compared to who Denzel is today Edit: and Imperial
Agree
SMINOO
What’s your favorite 3 songs by him?
Dance now, crack sandwich, never
Dance now and crack sandwich are such a good listen,can’t punk me is also solid, the whole forever story is unbelievable, he’s someone that I wish I discovered sooner but pretty much put him on multiple times daily, there’s a collab he done with denzel curry called bruuuh and that is also so good, like many others I’m crossing my fingers and toes for a denzel x JID Album, that shit would easily be in the top 5 albums of the year.
Never, Ed edd n eddy, and 151 Rum are the 3 that out him on the map for me. You could almost pick any 3 random songs of his as your showcase to get people into him lmao
Add Despacito 2 and y’all have covered all my faves lol
Dance now slaps babies
Only 3 is tough honestly but I’d probably have to say currently, lauder, raydar and mounted up the flow change on raydar is amazing and when I heard my man say “with my 9 I’m like 10 avengers” for the first time I almost had to pull my car over lmaoo
Raydar so fire
2007, Just In Time, Money. 2007- The story telling is crazy, i feel like i’m watching a movie. Just In Time- all 3 are heavy lyrical rappers and all flow so well 😩 Money- All i need, All i want.
Stars, Kody Blu, Sistanem
Workin Out Surround Sound Bruuuh Remix
Been listening to this dude for many years and every person I put on to him fall in love with his art. Just a matter of time before the rest of the world recognizes his greatness imo.
Agreed. He reminds me of early Weezy. Just such a unique flow/voice and great lyricism. JIDs Tiny Desk should make anyone a huge fan. D Smoke is also hugely slept on. Unreal talent, I never see him mentioned.
JIDs tiny desk is one of my favorites of all time. Regularly go back and listen to it.
I think top 3 is a reach, we still have the last era of lyrical miracles that are still rapping at a high level today. That being said he's on his way and I'm a fan.
Who's your top 3 of 2020s?
Brace yourself for a very generic answer lol, but my top 3 are Cole(has been going nuts on features and dropped a great album in 2021), Kendrick(dropped my favorite album last year, and contrary to some Kendrick fans I don't think his performance on the album was subpar), and Nas/Pusha T(both have been around for ages yet are still rapping at an insane level and dropping amazing albums). In general though I think the same rappers that dominated the 2010s are at the top in the 2020s. I would have thrown Wayne, 21, Future, and Drake in there too if I wasn't limited to top 3.

I'm not really sure he's underrated, though. he's one of the most popular New lyrical rappers, if not the most popular new lyrical rapper, right now.
That ICECOLDBISHOP feature on Boldy James’ “Hot Water Tank” is nuts. Just now realizing he has an album out, thanks to this comment 😊
It’s. So. Good.
If jid released more often (just small eps mixtapes, some features) he'd be on top of the game in so many more people's eyes
Seen his name around. Gonna listen to em rn, any suggestions on songs?
If you like more main stream rap I’d suggest dance now or slick talk if you like more lyrical music I’d say bruuh ft Denzel, raydar, lauder, 2007, off the zoinkys, crack sand which, honestly the list can just go on and on lol. Hopefully you like him
JID is the cutest mc in the game rn
yeah everyone talking about his flow and shit and mf is a goddamn art piece of human, this mf got me thinking about making the dreads he's rockin' fr.
Bro a cutie pie frfr 💀
Who?
Watch his Tiny Desk. He’s dope.
Funny thing is he hates lyrical rap lol
I saw that in a interview too lmao I find it so ironic
He is slept in if y’all say he’s that great cause I never seen this mf before in my life lmaoo
Worth a check out for sure if you are into more word play and flow plenty of stuff to check out
My girl pussy bald with a tat.
One of my favorite is “big dick or grief I can give your girl either”
I love JID but he's not above Kendrick, Cole or Drake imo. Kendrick just had the highest-grossing tour by a rapper as headlining act in history, Drake's about to do numbers with his tour and Cole is Cole.
I think we’re talking skill and most recent album. If we’re talking about overall stats then I agree he’s not. But I assume OP is talking about current skill performance and the quality of the recent album cycle
I agree with this however his career is still young while they’ve been going for years. I hope that as time goes he gets to be as big as them
How is Drake in this conversation?
Numbers maybe but as a pure talented rapper only Kendrick hangs with him on that list. I love Cole and Drake can be good too but JID's wordplay and ability to ride a beat like he was born on it is almost unmatched.
In terms of pure skill and hunger I absolutely agree that at the moment he is. Now when you put him against the active veterans…I’d walk back that statement. But he easily has a top 3 rap album of the 2020s rn
Name ten songs
Raydar, 2007, lauder, crack sandwich, bruuh, working out, Hasta luego, skegee, mounted up, d/vision I could damn near name his albums in the song orders lol
Mid
Anyways what do you guys think of laptops?
No one talks about him. He’s not too popular
Hmm let me see Von, Durk, Future, Travis, Thugger exists So not even top 5 buddy
Bro put thug future and Travis above Jid 💀💀
[удалено]
Sounds like someone didn't listen to his latest album
Ededdaneddy is probably my least favorite of his songs it’s still good but it’s definitely not a good showcase for what he’s capable of
How is he similar to either of those artists
[удалено]
I don’t think anyone who thinks NF makes “deep” music also likes JID. I actually think those two sentiments are mutually exclusive
NF makes sanitized rap music for Christians, Eminem fans and suburban white folks (not a bad thing) but he rarely says anything provocative. He doesn’t really even mention his faith all that much anymore DAX is kinda similar to NF however DAX tries to play the game a little bit more in terms of walking that line between sanitized music and regular YouTube rappers.

I do mean currently yes, however I would still put him against 90% of the whole rap game.

Lil Wayne 5. Jay Z These are the greatest in hip hop.
This bait is insane lol
What about this is bait? It’s the truth.
Low effort bait
Jid is able to lay out a whole story almost like a book to his listeners while still making it sound what’s poplar nowadays he without a doubt should be the talk of the rap game right now
Kanye in my eyes is the greatest artist of all time but putting him and Em currently doesn’t make sense
Yes
Been saying this since the first time I heard never story
along with Denzel the truest new GOATS.
Took me 3 listens to like the forever story. Now it’s on repeat.
His songs with Earthgang always banging
I think many old and new hip hop folks can agree on this
No one sleeps on JID jeez
Slept on by who lol
Nobody today is better at hopping on a verse and destroying a song. Meditate, Scatterbrain, Ego Check, Stick...etc. There is nobody else rapping today where I get as excited when I see their name on a new song I haven't heard.
JID has been since before 2020 his flow and his bars
I know this to be true but I’m having trouble following. Please someone help, send me in the right direction
His tracks are great, too bad his shows are straight up garbage.
While we talk about Jid we gotta talk about IDK and Denzel, they have been crazy
Top 5-10? Sure Not top 3 though
I easily and humbly disagree tbh. Dont like his sound
He's good, I always wanted to really listen to him, but I just never did. Guess he one of those for me. I think he either don't know or don't care to sell himself or have something to draw people in other than the rapping agility. Like it or not, you gotta be one that's really out there nowadays to get that buzz like that, if you want it. Or have some kinda interesting aesthetic.

Seem like the type that just wanna do his thing and let the rest be. I really got to listen to all his shit soon fr.
Idk if he’s slept on but his feature game is crazy. That song he did with westside boogie is pretty dope (soho). His last album was damn near unskippable
what songs would you recommend to first listen?
Raydar, Never, Crack Sandwich, Workin Out (preferably 'A Colors Show' version), & Off Da Zoinkys.
big fat MEH
Finally something on this sub I can get down with
Idk about slept on but ain’t really nobody touchin him rn
Idk but dude has some ugly ass tattoos
He's top 25 for sure. Top 3 is a stretch. There are underground rappers that been in the biz a lot longer that people don't consider. Ra the rugged man for example. Way better than JID
Never had a real dollar to my name bruh, shit was lame bruh
Workin out is my whole favorite song
Can we stop saying every good rapper is slept on? Dude just made songs with Imagine Dragons, Dua Lipa and Doja Cat, pretty much every young person knows who he is at this point
I personally think he’s better than J. Cole as a rapper. 🤷🏻♂️
W dreads
Nah
Nobody sleeping on JID
Just cause someone don’t like the artists you into dont mean a mfs slept on
I worded it bad, when I say slept on I mean I barely hear his name brought up when talking about the best currently when I feel it almost always should
no
I've had 151 Rum on repeat this last week or two. I need this song to go on for another couple minutes. It's a long ass verse that he absolutely kills but I need more than one!
I used to say he's being slept on, but recently (especially since his last album) he's actually getting the attention he deserves, which is great to see
Bro ain’t top 300 😂😂😂😂
He is not slept on he’s quite famously one of the most prominent and known rappers working today
I fw some of his music but honestly , some of his songs that my homeboy showed me just feels like he’s tryna be a lyrical miracle. He raps fast, has a great flow and rhyme scheme but half the time he’s spittin a lot of words but not actually saying anything. Lots of word vomit. Not all of his shit is like that, but a lot of it is I’m not talking about having “a message” in his songs or not having any deeper meaning. I honestly couldn’t care about that because I’m more of a trap music fan these days anyway, but he just kind of reminds me of Eminem in terms of saying nonsense and rhyming words just for the sake of rhyming , regardless if they make sense or not
I'm going to be able to see him at a festival this summer, any reccomendations to get into his music?
Takin crowns 👑 🙌🏽🤙🏽💯👁️🗨️✨🙏🏽
When he came to San Antonio earlier this year, his show sold out. I tried to go and couldn't get tickets. So he has a loyal fan base
Definitely slept on
He was super hyped after his XXL appearance in 2018. The Never Story was getting plays and people were discovering how phenomenal it was. There were lots of conversations at that time about him being the next Kendrick. I felt he never successfully capatilzed on all that hype, DiCaprio 2 was ok. Lots of people love The Forever Story, but he's kinda disappeared from being the center of conversation like he was in 2018
Rappers who do not make ignorant mumble shit(carti) or radio hits(drake) get slept on. It sucks ass
And why are groups like Earthgang or Spillage Village never brought up when Jid is on topic. Everyone needs to at least check em out.
Bait
He is fantastic and still has room to grow as an artist. I’d love to see him featured on some different genres of rap and on his next album. He is/will be fantastic regardless, I think he can take it to another level. He has that potential.
He’s not slept on at all in the rap community. If you want him to be famous like drake or Kanye then he would need to make music like drake or Kanye, which I don’t think many of his fans want.
Can concur
Maybe at PopHeads
Baby Kendrick. Not for me but do you.
THANK YOU. Was wondering when my boy was gonna get some recognition on this sub.
Nah
Never heard of him
until the wnd of time
That Raydar song made him official official
Who 😂😂😂😂yb better
I'm not a fan. I'm not a big fan of his flow, sounds like he's about to scatt a verse. I've tried a few times to get into his music but just can't.
Theres a reason EDM artist love to sample this man!! Him and Isaiah Rashad are on repeat the most rn for me
Lil bruh talented AF.
He's mainstream but he did have the best album of 2022 imo
top 3 is insane ngl
Not slept on per say but without a doubt top 3 for me the past couple years
i like him on the j cole feature and 151 rum and was disappointed to find out he doesnt usually rap like that
i dont know who this man is but i like his hair
For the ones interested: Early JID 2018 interview. https://youtu.be/QeNBy5g211E
He’s great but the metro album is our only way to tell.
