“With sick flows and a versatile delivery, J.I.D's latest effort is one of the rawest and most lyrically refined rap albums of the year.”

“The East Atlanta rapper’s second album doesn't try to take on the world and is all the better for it, showing that J.I.D. has much more to offer than his formidable rapping chops.”

“The Atlanta rapper’s latest LP is an ambitious and overwhelming experience, a bridge between his upbringing and his place within hip-hop canon and Black history at large.”

“This album is amazing. JID has established himself as one of the hottest in the game and one of the most consistent in recent years. His flows are insane, not to mention he can sing his ass off. The features on this project also have their own places and each artist brings something different. This one will be a certified classic before too long. Favs: Raydar, Dance Now, Can’t Punk Me, Surround Sound, Kody Blu 31, Bruddanem, Sistanem, Stars, Lauder Too Meh: Better Days”

“Topping The Forever Story would have been incredibly difficult, and that’s not what JID had to do. With this one, he proves his consistency with yet another great project. Everything feels fresh and polished, with some genuinely interesting feature choices that only improve the experience. The second leg isn’t as strong as the first, but this doesn’t pull it down too much. Favs: YouUgly, Glory, WRK, Community, Gz, VCRs, Sk8, On Mcafee, Of Blue Meh: K-Word”

“Really good album from JID. Rapping is flawless however the production and mostly the beat selection from JID could do with some improving. Top songs are ‘Off Deez’ ft J.Cole ‘Off Da Zoinkys’ ‘Workin Out’ ‘Hot Box’ ft Method Man & Joey Bada$$ ‘Just Da Other Day’ ‘Hasta Luego - Bonus’”

“LISTENED: 08/09/2025 Great amount of rap-value coming from JID’s skill on this album, but I can’t get behind much of the minimal beats in the rap-centric songs. His singing is surprisingly good though.”

“This album started growing on me recently but it’s safe to say it’s easily a 10/10. JID is so talented and has one of the best flow in the game and his pen game is super underrated.”
