Nothing standard bout J.I.D

[@dr.lecter8818]

He looks like a nice guy but his presence also commands respect in a nonchalant way. It’s amazing to see this guy blow up the way he is.

[@shyanburkett825]

I absolutely agree! Laid back but serious at the same time

[@hoseashifa4835]

He looks like MJ

[@ddrz09]

His demeanor, calm, cool, well thought out. His ethos, struggle, hard-work and dedication, opportunity. His heroes, his family and real HipHop. Everyone who's saying he's someone to look out for, boy thats it. It's eerie how he's dedicated to "music" like that, just like Cole and production. When you're cultivated and properly nurtured to hold the torch for a culture, gatekeepers they feel it, and they come out of the woodwork to bring up the next generation. Fuck this is awesome

[@DanKema2]

p@tr0ck bro so well said. I agree completely

[@GetBusyBitch]

[@CamboyGDubbz]

They have numerous tracks together 6lack used to sleep on Doctur Dot's mom's couch, Doc is half of EarthGang which is the other half of Spillage Village with JID. 6lack is on like 4 tracks on his "Leonardo DiCaprio" mixtape.
