J.i.d - D/vision

The Never Story is like watching a boxer throw immaculate jabs, uppercuts, and haymakers for 12 rounds. This isn’t a novice, but a refined emcee who has awaited the chance to prove his prowess.

Each song is a polished showcase of songwriting and lyrical sharpness able to collide with a samurai’s blade without shattering.

Most of J.I.D's Dreamville debut is driven by enough bars to house Rikers inmates ("NEVER," "D/Vision"), but two soulful singing records ("Hereditary," "All Bad") give a glimpse of much more up his sleeve.

For anyone who doesn’t find the new class of rappers capable of raising the bar, J.I.D is a Red Gyarados in a pool of flailing Magikarp―a rare monster you can’t help but watch in awe.
