J.I.D. performs during the first day of the 2022 Dreamville Festival.
JID and Ari Lennox are among the latest artist to depart J. Cole's Dreamville imprint. He signed with record label in 2017.

JID turns Atlanta into a warzone in the visual presentation for his latest single, "WRK."

A prepartion for this anticiapted new album, the track showcases the popular rap star's infectious wordplay as he surveys the land with a plan to conquor. He’s front and center, leading a squad of masked-up rebels, mobbing through the rubble. Their opps? Hazmat-suited goons on a mission to destroy turntables, mics, and speakers — straight-up trying to erase the culture.

Through all the smoke, there's this raw-looking museum tucked away, holding pieces of JID’s legacy — album covers, symbols, and warped flags that flip the American dream on its head. It’s a loud statement: even when the world’s crumbling, the art survives. This ain't just about music — it’s about memory, message, and movement.

JID WRK


“WRK” is a hustler’s anthem wrapped in a catchy hook. On the surface, it feels like a vibe, but dig deeper — JID’s dropping gems about staying locked in, putting in the grind, and never folding when life gets heavy. That blend of bounce and bars is what makes him dangerous — he’s talking to the masses and the misfits at the same time.

With everything falling apart around him, JID continues to display rebellion and hope. He walks through destruction like a survivor, dodging the system’s traps and pushing forward. The last of J. Cole's Dreamville original roster, the single proves that nothing will change in his music as he charts a new path.

He keeps moving, keeps working — showing us what resilience looks like. “WRK” ain’t just a song, it’s a war cry for anyone building something in a world that’s tryna tear ‘em down.

JID’s upcoming fourth studio album, God Does Like Ugly, drops in August. The album marks his first solo project since 2022’s The Forever Story.

JID describes the project as a culmination of years of meticulous effort, aiming to build a new world through his music. Fans can anticipate a blend of introspection and innovation in this highly awaited release.
