I'm sure JID was the kid in school who had pages full of equations when he took his math tests. Based on his style, he doesn't take the easy route to get anywhere. Throughout The Forever Story, JID feeds us with all kinds of dynamic flows and talks about powerful topics such as family values, whooping-ass, black oppression, and more in ways that aren't always direct. The icing on the cake is that he does all of his work over beats that switch up often and tip-toe the line between slavish-sounding and trap-inspired. The Forever Story is not an easy listen, and that is because the Atlanta rapper makes it clear that he didn't have an easy life growing up. Way to make a body of work that embodies who you are, JID.
