JID, the Dreamville artist, found himself in a tough spot after the 2022 release of ‘The Forever Story.’ Although the album’s reception was mixed, he has emerged stronger and more determined than ever to make waves in the music scene.
JID’s experience following the release of ‘The Forever Story’ was anything but easy. He candidly shared on Instagram how the album’s lukewarm reception had a profound impact on him, albeit briefly. “I remember not feeling like I got what I think I deserved after that album came out and it sent me into a dark place (for maybe 20 mins cuz I ain’t no bitch),” he wrote.
However, JID’s passion for music pulled him through. Fast forward to when he heard a beat by Pluss in the studio, and he was reinspired. His coach’s words, ‘Let’s go to WORK,’ echoed in his mind, pushing him forward. JID follows the mantra: ‘You can only control what you can control,’ a philosophy that has guided him into this new creative endeavor.
JID isn’t just talking about change; he’s making it happen. He recently announced, amid the excitement that his next album, ‘Forever & A Day,’ is ready. “It’s done. It’s turned in — it’s been turned in. It’s coming really soon,” he confirmed during an interview at Paris Fashion Week. The project continues the thematic journey started by his previous works, ‘The Never Story’ and ‘The Forever Story.’
JID has also been generating buzz with the promise of a collaborative project with Metro Boomin. The two artists were seen working together, and fans got a sneak peek earlier this month. JID made a big impression at the Dreamville Festival, premiering a lively new track titled “WRK.” The song, along with others like “DRP,” “Killers Back,” and “HoodByJID Freestyle,” is available to pre-save, keeping fans on their toes.
JID’s journey from disappointment with ‘The Forever Story’ to his forthcoming album represents a tale of artistic resilience and growth. As he steps into this new chapter, fans eagerly anticipate the innovation and creativity JID is known for, ready to embrace his latest musical offerings.
