No one makes the kind of music JID makes.
The game is ready for JID to take—any minute now, I expect him to grab it. But I won’t lie, it’s been a little frustrating watching him hold back. A few years ago, he promised two new albums, and we’re still waiting. That said, greatness takes time, and patience is key.
Tonight, JID dropped his brand-new single, “WRK,” and I’m betting it marks the beginning of his long-awaited rollout.
The track is packed with high-octane energy, powered by heavy-hitting drums, handclaps, a lively tempo, and even the voice of a ratchet woman in the background for added flavor. Over it all, JID glides with his signature tongue-twisting flow and razor-sharp wordplay. Lyrically, he taps into themes of hustle, resilience, growth, and silencing the haters—classic JID with a punch.
What really makes “WRK” stand out is the contrast between the booming production and JID’s smooth delivery. It’s that unique juxtaposition that makes the song a fun, compelling listen and a perfect setup for what’s next.
