He formed the musical collective Spillage Village with EarthGang in 2010, and later formed the hip hop group, Zoink Gang with Smino, Buddy, and Guapdad 4000.[3] His fluent rapping style and usage of wordplay has been highly acclaimed by several music critics.
JID gained recognition after releasing several independent projects, including Route of Evil (2012), Para Tu (2013) and DiCaprio (2015). His debut studio album, The Never Story (2017) was met with critical acclaim and contained the single "Never".[4][5] His second album, DiCaprio 2 (2018) was supported by the singles "151 Rum" and "Off Deez" (with J.

His third album, The Forever Story (2022) received further acclaim and peaked at number 12 on the Billboard 200; it spawned the top 40 single "Surround Sound" (featuring 21 Savage and Baby Tate).
