Growing up on a mix of his parents’ collection of classic funk and soul LPs, J.I.D first appeared on the Atlanta hip-hop scene with his debut EP ‘Dicaprio’ in 2015. After a stint at Hampton University playing football, J.I.D hooked up with fellow MCs as part of the Spillage Village collective; eventually making the move to drop out of college and focus solely on music. In 2014, J.I.D set off on tour with EarthGang, Bas, and Ab-Soul; this allowed J.I.D to craft his skills, and a year later he recorded and dropped the ‘DiCaprio’ EP; which saw him team up with a host of producers, as well as EarthGang.

Following up as a sequel to his 2015 SoundCloud EP, J.I.D’s sophomore album ‘Dicaprio 2’ features a star-studded list of collaborators and producers, including 6LACK, A$AP Ferg, Joey Bada$$, Ella Mai, J. Cole and even features one of the last tracks ever produced by Mac Miller; out now on J. Cole’s label, Dreamville. Bringing back the three-verse structure, the mixtape structured album is a sheer skill-display; showing off how far his songwriting skill has grown since his debut album, ‘The Never Story’ in 2017.
Last seen touring Australia in 2017 on J. Cole’s ‘4 Your Eyez Only’ Tour, this will be your only chance to catch a glimpse of J.I.D’s dexterous, fired-up flow while on tour for Perth’s recently expanded rap and bass-heavy Hidden Festival.
