3012125, J.I.D. - DiCaprio2 (2018)
Posted by spitfire, Sun Dec-02-18 07:28 AM
This album is greatness.. the kid JID keeps growing, his last album (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BcGfEhVHeBk) was also really dope.
With excellent releases from him, EARTHGANG, Bas, Ari Lennox, Cozz and last year's Lute, the Dreamville gang is to be taken very seriously.
JID has a voice that at one point reminds me of the Pharcyde and is reminiscent of Kendrick the other. He has flows, content and can flex over trap beats just as easy as over some true school soundscapes.
highlights for me:
Workin' out

Definitely one of my favorite "new" rappers. Last project was super dope, too.

3012186, i didn't like it
Posted by bearfield, Mon Dec-03-18 02:56 PM
the beats are mostly awful and washed and he's overly concerned with letting the audience know that he knows how to rap. that said, his pen is nice i think he'll release a very good project in the next couple of years

3013332, did you skim through it?

I could see someone not caring for his voice or whatever, but he has plenty of content.

3012204, one of my favorite releases of the year...

my rap group partner was in my ear about him last week, so i gave his project a gander. some really dope beats on there but i was struck by how easily homeboy seemed to hold down a project on his own, to be so young. i hear the kendrick comparison but its his voice more than anything, apparently this is how a lot of younger dudes rap now, like freestyle fellowship is what they came up on

3013331, this is really good...especially the first half

Working Out? Shiiit.
This dude has "it" if that makes sense.
He's working with NO ID next? Yes please.

3013361, This album reminds me of Section 80 for one reason.....

it made me an instant fan.
I can't wait to see this guy's career take off. He's got what it takes to make great albums.
