JID

JID is an Atlanta rapper, born Destin Route, known for dense, rapid-fire lyricism and intricate flows layered over trap, soul-sampling and R&B-leaning production. He came up on the Atlanta scene with his 2015 debut EP DiCaprio and later signed to J. Cole's Dreamville label, where he became one of its core voices alongside the label's collective Revenge of the Dreamers projects. His technical command is the draw live: he keeps his fast, multisyllabic verses intact on stage rather than slowing them down for the room.
