Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. ATL Footwear & City Fashion

(06:54-08:55)

• The group opens with a playful debate on “treacherous” fashion choices, specifically black Air Force 1s with white laces.
• JID jokes:

  “Black forces, that’s a statement, you know what I’m saying?” (07:11, JID)

• Reflections on the 2007 Indy Expo release of retro Jordans and how Midwest/Indianapolis shoe culture stands out.

2. The Atlanta Falcons Fandom & Super Bowl Pain

(08:55-11:14)

• JID discusses his deep affiliation with the Falcons, even having his songs as stadium anthems and riling up crowds on third downs.
• Vivid memories of the infamous 28-3 Super Bowl loss to the Patriots:

  “We sitting at the Grammys...Robert Kraft...pulls out the 28-3 Super Bowl ring...just stunting on us as if we not already hurting.” (10:38, JID)

• JID admits to briefly abandoning hope after the loss, empathizing with fans’ pain.

3. JID’s Journey: Rap Naming, Football Roots, and HBCU Life

(11:14-13:11; 22:10-23:59)

• “JID” comes from his grandma calling him “jittery”—the transition from football scholarship to rapping after being kicked out of college:

  “I played football; I was on full scholarship...didn’t think I was gonna rap...that came after I got kicked out.” (12:54, JID)

• Played nickel, corner, return specialist at Hampton University, loved the HBCU camaraderie:

  “It was different, but I enjoyed going to a black school...it’s a beautiful campus...the girls helping you with your studies.” (23:59, JID)

4. Atlanta's Musical DNA & JID’s Lyrical Identity

(15:49-18:16)

• Unlike the “futuristic” metro beats, JID always felt drawn to OutKast, T.I., and storytelling rap:

  “TI—OutKast, that’s the pinnacle for me...storytelling from young black man from Atlanta...I can adapt this.” (15:49, JID)

• ATL’s unique musical identity, and pride in southern black culture’s influence on his artistry.

5. Social Media, Virality, and the Power of the ‘Surround Sound’ Trend

(29:10-32:15)

• JID explains the viral “phone in the ceiling” trend for “Surround Sound”:

  “It started in Asia, but when that South Africa phone-in-the-ceiling-shake-hit, it changed the whole ecosystem.” (29:37, JID)

• Social media’s uncontrollable power, and his Southern mom’s shock:

  “She sent me hella booty videos, asking ‘what is this?’” (31:52, JID)

6. Linking with J. Cole & Dreamville

(33:04-34:14)

• Reflects on organically meeting J. Cole, who became a mentor and advocate:

  “He love hoops, he love rap, family man…super down-to-earth… all I needed was a platform and opportunity.” (33:11, JID)

7. EDM, Eminem Collabs & The Artistic Process

(62:05-64:39)

• Collaboration with Eminem happened in an untraditional way – laid down tracks in a China hotel room, released years later:

  “Did that [with Eminem] in a hotel room in Hangzhou, China...came out years later.” (63:51, JID)

8. Touring Life & Its Realities

(41:53-47:00; 47:13-50:17; 73:46-77:19)

• Touring is both grueling and exhilarating; the headline artist fronts every expense, makes money from merch, meet-and-greets, and keeping crew morale up is key.
• Describes his tour bus setup (double deckers in Europe!) and what makes them home-like, “You got a bed in the back…food, everything you need. It’s a way better experience.” (74:11, JID)
• Wild tour moments:

  “Last night–dude hanging off the balcony with one hand…major insurance liability!” (48:41, JID)

9. Song Creation, Overthinking, & The Dilemma of Unreleased Music

(66:12-67:31; 69:11-71:20)

• Overthinking keeps tracks from being released:

  “Sometimes as an artist…you throw paint where it ain’t…not always confident in it.” (67:05, JID)

• On ghostwriting and studio collaboration:

  “If you’re in a trusted room, someone giving a zinger, that ain’t writing for you—that’s just energy.” (70:13, JID)

• Ultimately, “If the music hard, then it’s good.” (71:15, JID)

10. Making Music vs. Performing Live

(71:21-72:43)

• The joy of creation vs. the thrill of seeing crowds scream back lyrics:

  “Creation process…best feeling ever…But being on stage, seeing people mouth your lines, that connection—that’s what the world is about.” (71:30, JID)

---

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

I drunk wool about a four quarter overtime, so I just left. I'll tell that real cause like it's our second time. I feel like the Falcons went. If. If my history served me correct, it went like 58. And then I'm gonna say we went against the Broncos. Elway, Terrell Davis. I can't think about it. Y' all say 98. I could be wrong.

And energy came from my grandma on some. Like, she used to call me jittery. So when I was on some rap, I was like, all right, I'm gonna figure out this rap name. I don't want to be my real name. Let me use some real to me, like my family nickname. And then I just broke it down like that. It wasn't gonna be J, I D, D. Because the crowd got to be like, j, I, D. Yeah. I went through a little process to get it.

[DJ Wells]

Do you be thrown off now? Are you in the city or randomly people call you by your government?

[JID]

Yeah, hell yeah. Cause even. Even, like, where I'm from, don't call me government. It'd be like my last name. Because we all. I played football.

[DJ Wells]

Okay, for sure.

[JID]

For sure. Like, that was.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah.

[JID]

I didn't think I was gonna rap, you know what I'm saying? Until, like, later years of my life. Like, after I got kicked out of school, I was like, damn, what am I doing? And I did the stereotypical thing.

[DJ Wells]

That's funny, because we just had Dave beast on. He said the same he said, I didn't know I was gonna be a rapper, but I had to pick.

[JID]

But I was fato. I always thought, you know, we always, as black men, we all freestyled at some point. I'm saying I hate the stereotypes, but, you know, it, like in some scenarios, you just kicked it. You chilling. Woo. But I was actually fired this, and I kept it in my back pocket my whole life. I always, like, study rap. I always like just the grace, you know what I'm saying? Music. I wouldn't even say rap. I just say music, period. Because my family like super musical and all of that.

[DJ Wells]

Well said. Speaking of everybody having a verse, I gotta be here. Come on in the classic on YouTube.

[Bishop (B H Out the Priest)]

Oh, yeah.

[DJ Wells]

Fight a clap. Look at his hat, though.

[Bishop (B H Out the Priest)]

Yeah, yeah, we build a remix right now.

[DJ Wells]

All 520.

[JID]

He got the a hat.

[Bishop (B H Out the Priest)]

They going, you know what you was doing in 2011? I was in the boof. Yeah. I crawl so you can run.

[JID]

Hey, come on. Come on now. You hard, you hard. I love that you got the little clip.

[DJ Wells]

I love the fact that the. The EJ box empty every time. That is hilarious.

[JID]

Oh, that's post enj.

[Bishop (B H Out the Priest)]

You recorded that after I said, let's get to it. Engineer. Ky, come.

[DJ Wells]

Oh, my go. Turn me up. Turn them down.

[Bishop (B H Out the Priest)]

When did you know, though, that you was like one of them ones, though? Or when you felt like you could make.

[JID]

Probably was like. And I was. I was big on writing period, you know what I'm saying? Outside of songs and all that. Like, I knew I was just writing, but I feel like I wrote a song one time and went to record it. It's probably not even out, but just the room, you know what I'm saying? When you in these sessions, sometimes you with your homeboys, you with the engineer you with. Sometimes you may not know the engineer with your folks and stuff, but the reaction from the room of the song, I'm like, oh, I'm. I'm in the right direction. You know what I'm saying? I seen how my homeboys looked at me. They wouldn't like, no. That's gonna be like, oh, boy, it's fire. Regardless. These are goddamn. But it's trash. So being around, like, having a good community of folks like that let me know, like, I mean, I was in the right direction and that I just remember that specific moment or that studio session, you feel me?

[DJ Wells]

Got you, like, in Atlanta, we. You know, when I lived there, I listened to the beats more. But like, you lyrical, Was you always like a lyrical rapper? Was you like at one time, like now, I guess Metro kind of brung it back. Yeah, that super. You know that. I don't even know what they call it.

[Bishop (B H Out the Priest)]

Futuristic, bro.

[DJ Wells]

That was me, Young la, all them dudes. That's when I was in Atlanta, it was a vibe. But for you, when I listen to you, it's like lyrics. And I'm like, damn. It kind of gave me that vibe. Obviously you signed with J. Cole, you was with Cole and them, but it gave me that vibe. Like east coast, all that, that kind of vibe. Was that always your stuff?

[JID]

Yeah, for sure. On some, like, I think like TI like, yeah, Outcast Gemma, like my. You know what I'm saying? That's the pinnacle for me, like as far as they storytelling. I'd be listening to Still Ain't Forgave myself by TI like top 5 T I song, you know what I'm saying? Those type of stories being told from the perspective of, you know what I'm saying? Young black man from Atlanta. I'm like, oh, I can adapt this, you know what I'm saying? I could really still tell a story and still be who I am, you know what I'm saying? Because I'm from where I'm from. And you can still have that, that weight to it, that density to it. And the Outcast himself being like aliens and all of that. It was always just like, okay, you can be one of me and gotta like follow the trends. But also I did have. Everybody had the area. I'm big shirt rapping, I'm. I'm swaggy J. You know what I'm saying? I was on that too, but I.

[DJ Wells]

Wasn'T an actual rapper.

[JID]

I'm just in the time being a team with my friends and we rapping like how the rappers rapping, you know what I'm saying? So I always, you know what I'm saying, Fluctuate come from Atlanta.

[DJ Wells]

So I got him.

[JID]

It's always going to seem like, oh no, he he from Atlanta. But it's just a different take on.

[DJ Wells]

It now, you know, with somebody from.

[Bishop (B H Out the Priest)]

Atlanta, you got the accent for sure.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, they for sure what I'm talking about.

[Bishop (B H Out the Priest)]

Yeah, you got the accent for sure, for sure.

[DJ Wells]

And it's crazy cuz at one point, obviously all of us growing up, bro, when the movie ATL came out, bro, we all wanted to be from Atlanta and like. And then the music was following. Oh God, I didn't want to go to Cascade.

[JID]

That's what it is. You want to go to Cascade, I.

[DJ Wells]

Want to go get no, I'll be a skating ass for sure. Keep my chain back. Hey, you know what's so crazy about that movie? I ain't never gonna be mad if I find out. My girl Rich. That's a blessing. Yeah. Fact.

[Bishop (B H Out the Priest)]

He was more so mad that she lied, though, bro.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah.

[Bishop (B H Out the Priest)]

I, like, can't trust these hoes, bro.

[JID]

Why? He broke it down. No, hey, hold on. It's morals, you know?

[DJ Wells]

Hey, lie to me. If you Rich, lie to me, fam.

[Bishop (B H Out the Priest)]

Where we come from, a lot of girls, we. They don't have nobody, so we thought TI Was tripping in no f. Sh.

[JID]

Ain't no problem. That's that exact moment, bro.

[DJ Wells]

Okay, we got. That was a vibe, for sure. But what was that like, man? That moment for, like, the world to really be, like, fixated on y', all. Especially with the music scene growing and growing, y'. All, Damn it. Like the capital of music.

[JID]

Yeah, it was hard, like, you know what I'm saying? Being from Atlanta, bro, it's so much pride behind it because, yeah, it's such a black city, you know what I'm saying? Like, my whole life, bro, I grew up around all black folks. I went to hbcu, you know what I'm saying? The most white people I've interacted with is probably, like, right now, like, with my fans and stuff like that. And it's. It was a culture shock, but at this point, it's like, okay, like, this is the world. We, like, 13, 14 of the population. But being from Atlanta, every day, you can see the. The mayor, you know what I'm saying? Down to junkie on the corner, everybody's just black, you know what I'm saying? From top to the bottom.

[DJ Wells]

So, you know, I want to skip ahead. What's it like at your show? You see that white dude who. Front row. Know all your lyrics, front and back.

[JID]

Yeah.

[DJ Wells]

It'S crazy.

[JID]

It's crazy. It's crazy. Cause I literally, like. I be talking about just, like. Even if it coming out lyrical, all I be talking about just, like, black plight. My stories, my scenario. So to see, like, it resonate with different people and cultures, I'm like, all right, this hard. You know what I'm saying? Because I'm not really, like, trauma dumping. I'm really just giving you a goddamn picture, you know what I'm saying? Let you see how you see it type. So it's cool. I'm cool with that. I ain't too, like. As long as I ain't like. You know what I'm saying?

[DJ Wells]

Yeah.

[JID]

Keeping it cordial, you know what I'm saying?

[Bishop (B H Out the Priest)]

You're special for that real for that. I want to say thank you.

[JID]

Come on man that was a great.

[Bishop (B H Out the Priest)]

I had to watch mine on mute. My was loud. I was in the bathroom downstairs.

[JID]

Yeah, that was. That was a crazy experience, bro. I ain't going to lie.

[Commercial Voice]

Yeah.

[DJ Wells]

What was that like?

[JID]

Like, so.

[DJ Wells]

It was so organic that that happened.

[JID]

Yeah, gang. So the song, when it dropped, it dropped, I say January 22nd. And within, like, my album dropped August of 22 that year. Within the first eight months, it was platinum. The song specifically, it did Billboard charts. All that. Then we toured in 23. At the end of tour, when holidays rolled around, it was like, I want to say the Philippines. It was little Asian guy, but this phone in the ceiling. They did like some. It was cool. It was some kitty stuff. They did like a circle. It was a classroom. They was dancing and stuff. Then a couple months later, December hit and in South Africa, some. I don't know who the catalyst was. I don't know who the girl was, but she did it first. Put her phone and ceiling, shook that ass clean. And she changed the whole ecosystem. It was crazy. It was crazy. And it just. From then on, it just flew out. You know what I'm saying? It went crazy. Even the song. The song bigger than me sometimes. Sometimes it. You may know the sign, you might not even know it's me. But the bank knows.

[Bishop (B H Out the Priest)]

Knowing that came from Nigeria.

[DJ Wells]

The mother only can do that.

[JID]

Yeah, no, that was. That was crazy, bro.

[DJ Wells]

It is crazy how everybody, when you hear that sound, somebody like, he freaky as hell. He is freaky as hell. But that is freaky Mike. That freaky Mike. As soon as you hear that sound, you look at the dude like, what you watching, bro?

[Bishop (B H Out the Priest)]

It's crazy how that can turn you up, though. How do you feel about the power of social media?

[JID]

Like, you can't really control it. You just gotta. You know what I'm saying? If you gonna be on social media, you gotta play into it or whatever, but it's too powerful. You can't beat it. You know what I'm saying? You just gotta fall into the line. It's like the wild, wild West. You gotta understand that. So when that just took a whole. Like, it was great on my side, like, you know what I'm saying? I'm a young man. I'm a man. My parents, my mom was like, yo, what is this?

[DJ Wells]

This is not God.

[JID]

I like, my mom is such a Southern lady, bro.

[Bishop (B H Out the Priest)]

You a church baby like me.

[JID]

Come on, bro, we from the South. We Bible belt, baby.

[Bishop (B H Out the Priest)]

Like, oh, that one in the Bible.

[JID]

That one in the Bible, dog.

[Bishop (B H Out the Priest)]

Yeah, yeah, she Mary was throwing it like that.

[JID]

Send me text messages, like, she do this through my whole career. You going to see. Send me a text about a lyric or just. But around that time, she was sending me hella booty videos.

[DJ Wells]

What is this? I can't believe.

[Bishop (B H Out the Priest)]

No, she turning you up, but she laughing behind it.

[JID]

She laughing, laughing behind it. But, yeah, it was a thing.

[DJ Wells]

The song is so far, and it got nothing to do with that. So it's like, mom, I didn't make this for this earlier.

[JID]

It's really about just being, like, from Atlanta, like, living surround sound. You hear gunshots, I got savage on there. You know what I'm saying? But also in the video, we had just on some. We had. We had an overhead shot, and girls was dancing around me just on some. Just vibes. And that kind of, like, what turned into the trend so that. I don't know. Little things you do can dictate how stuff move, but you can't.

[PayPal and Buffalo Ranch Announcer]

You.

[JID]

You can't even, like, pay for a viral moment like that.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, that's a fact. That was crazy. Hey, man. Appreciate you, man. Y' all saw. Come on, bro. Come on, baby. You like that, baby? Now she ain't here. All right, we're rolling. Listen, man, I want to ask. What's it like? Obviously, you get your rap career going, and then you link up with Cole, because I know, at least for us to, bro, that's, like, one of my goals. I've been a day one J. Cole fan, bro. Is, too.

[JID]

Yeah.

[DJ Wells]

What's it like when you get to, like, get that respect from somebody who, like, means something to you? Remember he shouted you out in the freestyle?

[JID]

Yes, my brother. Yeah, it happened. All organic brush is really just solid, dude. You know what I'm saying? He love hoops. He love rapping. Family, man. You know what I'm saying? As simple as that. But even being a superstar and being as down to earth as it is, it's like, something you don't really see. Like that. Yeah.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, bro. We out here riding bikes, and Ryan.

[JID]

Bikes, like, real, like, you know what I'm saying? Ryan bike probably got security with the file right behind him. Well, he got to find himself.

[DJ Wells]

Oh, no, no. We met security. It's one man.

[JID]

Probably the realest situation in the world. And it's so cool because bro still, like, remain, like, who he is even right now. Like, he probably doing his music, working with, like, with his family and stuff like that. And when he pop out, it's gonna be, like, the same thing. You know what I'M saying. Yeah. Yep. So linger with somebody like that, legendary like that. And then like, me being able to use this platform and help me, like, get my feet and help me get my. Get the ball rolling in my career, like. Yeah, you can't ask no better. All I needed was a platform opportunity.

[DJ Wells]

You know, and you could tell, like, all the artists who've been around Dreamville, like, it look organ. It look like it ain't nothing for. It look like everybody just getting today and it's just supporters there, too.

[DJ Wells]

[DJ Wells]

Oh, boy, I'm touristy. We keeping that money in there for sure.

[JID]

No, you gotta goddamn keep all the money in for tourists. You can run it because this, it's a. It's investment, for real.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah.

[JID]

You know what I'm saying? The headline artists front everything. Buses, trailers, staff, hotels, everybody.

[DJ Wells]

I ain't know that.

[Bishop (B H Out the Priest)]

What's the hardest part about touring, though? Because we just did our little three leg too. I mean, boys was tired.

[JID]

Once you get into the motion of it, like, oh, bro, we doing 36 dates. So once you get into the motion, Jesus, you win it. Because I've been doing it for a minute. Like, I've been to like this how you really make your money as artist?

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, yeah.

[JID]

It's not like you can make it from your music. You could be if you tight, you know what I'm saying? If you the highest, highest, you're gonna see some whatever. Whatever. But if you're still like in that in between, almost a Star button, star, whatever. It starts with goddamn brand deals.

[DJ Wells]

There we go.

[JID]

Merch. And then like touring and it's other little ways you can make. But. But those ways are like very known in these lucrative ways to get, like, bread. But torn, like, as the headline artist front everybody. I mean, you fronting everything. Hopefully those tickets all sell out and the merch blow out. And then you do meet and greets. You make money off that. That's another stream of revenue. But yeah, it'd just be a lot of different things to goddamn cross off before you make some bread. You feel me?

[DJ Wells]

What your meet and greets look like then? Cause we seen Chris Brown and we've.

[Bishop (B H Out the Priest)]

Seen boosies, for sure.

[JID]

It's a mix, bro. It's amazing. It's some black. It's some black people there. It's a lot of white people there. Yeah, they get kind of crazy. Like somebody that wanted meet Greece proposed. Damn. In front of me. My whole proposal. It was insane. Pulled up. Niggas be pulling up in costume on my birthday, on Halloween, so they be like showing love. It'd be kind of crazy, you know what I'm saying?

[DJ Wells]

Damn.

[JID]

Not Chris Brown level, though. He's a legend. Chris Brown 1.

[DJ Wells]

Even the booy that's be his favorite. The booy?

[JID]

Booy me and gre.

[Bishop (B H Out the Priest)]

What?

[DJ Wells]

Booy me and Grease is nothing. When he hopped on shorty back, I was like, booy crazy. I was like, you crazy, bro.

[JID]

He a legend, bro. For sure.

[DJ Wells]

For sure.

[Bishop (B H Out the Priest)]

What's a city that didn't surprise you, though, that you didn't think, you know what I mean? You pop in and they show hella love.

[JID]

It be like I say out the country, because I know, like, you America, like, it's gonna be lit. Whatever, Whatever's trending. Cool, cool. But we go over there that don't speak your language first and they saying all the words and then they trying to communicate with you outside of that, and it's just like, chop, you can't have, like, that's the best thing.

[DJ Wells]

That's crazy.

[JID]

You know what I'm saying? You can't even speak English, but you rapping these words.

[DJ Wells]

That's crazy.

[JID]

That'd be the craziest of it all, you know what I'm saying? I appreciate that part for sure.

[DJ Wells]

I was gonna ask you now, but you hit a lot of your own tour now. What was it like, you know what I'm saying? Being on tour as a guest for somebody else. And now like you said, you the head honcho got everybody shout out to you on Nudie. One of my favorites as well. What's it now being? Yeah, one of the ones. What's like, you know, like you said, having all those responsibilities and having to go out there and do your set.

[JID]

Every night, it come with a job. You know what I'm saying? Okay. It's what it is. For real, for. It's just like, y'.

[Bishop (B H Out the Priest)]

All.

[JID]

Like, y' all hooping, bro. You feel me? Everybody on the road every day, whatever. I don't know the whole process, but I know, like. Like, it's the same set of things. You just got to make sure you stay on top of it. As far as, like, how would I explain it? Like, I don't know. It's kind of taking care of yourself. Not even kind of. You have to take care of yourself, because every night is down there like a party. You know what I'm saying? It's like you bringing a party in a tour bus to another city every single night. You are the entertainment. You have to make this thing. So it's like, usually I wake up show day, I try to work out. We got in so early this morning. I couldn't really work out to offset the night before, like, getting lit and all of that. That's how I'd be trying to, like, balance it a little bit. But for the most part, it'd be like, take care of yourself. Make sure the crew and everybody. You know what I'm saying? Good hotels. Y' all ate. And then so they can do their jobs. Yeah. And then it's me, like, putting on the best show I could because I know the open. I know everybody's going before me, like, new to a special guest. And then we got two openers. I know they're gonna kill it, you know what I'm saying? So I ain't even really worried about the artist, but for the most part, it's just making sure y' all crew morale. Like, we. That's why I was saying, like, we might need to go hoop. Like, I was thinking about that. We need to go take the crew.

[DJ Wells]

We just need to go hoop, get the vibes up.

[JID]

You know what I'm saying? Get the vibes up. Cause it'd be lit every night, but at the same time, niggas away from home.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah.

[JID]

Niggas got kids and all that stuff. So it'd be a whole little process.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah. I just want to ask. You said you on day 36 days. I imagine ain't too much days in between when y' all get to leave or go Back to y' all families. Y' all like living literally on the road for two months at a time. Especially like you said, people got kids, girls, wives, family, all the above. I know that's a lot draining mentally and still have to go do your job.

[JID]

Yeah, it is, it is, it is with me. I just brought my little one, you.

[DJ Wells]

Know what I'm saying?

[JID]

Brought shot and my little one on the road for like a week or so. Me too. He was terrorizing everybody. No smoking on the blessing. But it was a good time. Like, so stuff like that being like blessed enough to bring like family on the road, but for the most part, it's. That's definitely taxing because you ain't gonna see things for months. You're gonna miss holidays, birthdays. Yeah. Events, whatever.

[Bishop (B H Out the Priest)]

I'm ready.

[JID]

You know what I'm saying?

[DJ Wells]

Play back to. Back to the NBA. That's crazy.

[JID]

Now what's that like, bro? What's that process like? Is it? But go ahead.

[DJ Wells]

The NBA easier than that though, like. Cause we get to go home after every game. Almost like you got a road trip. The worst is like you got like a 18 day road trip. Okay, now that could be bad, but that's what you do.

Yeah, you know, it's crazy. It's in a couple days, and I don't think I'm doing. I might stay here. For real. Could we go to Iowa next?

[DJ Wells]

Damn.

[Bishop (B H Out the Priest)]

We ain't gonna do that. We ain't gonna do that.

[JID]

I don't know what. We sold out.

[Bishop (B H Out the Priest)]

We sold out Iowa.

[DJ Wells]

I'm mad. I used to do a Halloween party. Used to be crazy Halloween part.

[Bishop (B H Out the Priest)]

Yeah. He up the last one.

[DJ Wells]

He messed up the last.

[JID]

The last party.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah.

[JID]

No, but I'm still deciding if I'm going just rock out here or just.

[DJ Wells]

You know what I'm saying?

[JID]

Cuz, flying back home, bro, it's. That's going to take me out of, like, the zone I'm in, you know what I'm saying? Like, I got to stay on the road until I can leave it. Or I just bring the folks.

[Bishop (B H Out the Priest)]

Well, if you willing to go out, bro, I'll find you something to get into.

[DJ Wells]

You straight in the city, bro. Yeah, we got you, bro.

[JID]

That'd be hard. That'd be hard.

[DJ Wells]

I'm sure.

[JID]

It ain't gotta be nothing crazy. I really just go to the studio. Y' all know the studio. I just really rock out because I'm working on something.

[DJ Wells]

Oh, yeah.

[JID]

I don't know if y' all feel like rapping. Y' all want to rap? Come on, E and J Boys, bro.

[DJ Wells]

We going.

[Bishop (B H Out the Priest)]

Hey.

[JID]

Come on, bro. That a snap.

[Bishop (B H Out the Priest)]

I could. I can find. I can find a studio we can get in that.

[JID]

Y' all ain't got no rappers from Indiana.

[Bishop (B H Out the Priest)]

I give you a couple.

[JID]

I know it's something I ain't trying to hate. I was just.

[DJ Wells]

Shout out to Maxi. Shout out to Fox.

[Bishop (B H Out the Priest)]

Little brother Lena, baby, it's 42.

[JID]

I'mma check him out. I ain't going to hold you.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, we got a. We got like more of an underground scene in the city that's just getting to that point. But we got some people been around doing that thing for a long time.

[JID]

When cuz rap always been so regional. And the fact that it's not like a prominent, like name name from this area that opened up the door for it, you know what I'm saying? Because when pop out from different areas want to know y' all lingo, niggas want to know who you are type. So if somebody do it the right way and it's gonna hit in a different type of way. Yeah, man. Yeah, I like that. Yeah.

[DJ Wells]

I mean, a lot. But especially like in Atlanta, like, I think that's what's so dope about y' all city is that like, the sounds is the time. You can always put name and faces to the airs and stuff and the energy behind it. But like. Like, just for you to have your own lane. And like, what was that like for you rapping with Eminem, bro?

[JID]

Yeah, were hard.

[DJ Wells]

You had Atlanta with Eminel. That's crazy.

[JID]

It was crazy. And that song. We did that a couple. Well, we. We got two rappers. The one recently was just like a cold plunge. Like, you listen to it once you like, okay, I got it. But the first song that we did together was super special because I ain't expect to call. I thought it was kind of cap when Nick hit me was like, hey, in one of us. You know what I'm saying? The person I that said it was respectable. But at the same time, I'm like, I ain't speak to him like. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, the whole collaborative thing that come with artist to artist type. So I eventually got a beat and I just rapped to that and then I sent it back to him and a couple years later, that just came out. Damn. We had conversations and stuff prior to it, but it came out. I heard his verse after mom was already laid type, and I was like, oh, this is actually kind of legendary. You know what I'm saying? This is how it is on this. This level work. And I don't know, it's just cool, bro. Because that was like somebody I looked up to. Look up to to this day on Some like, legendary story, like rap.

[DJ Wells]

That's interesting you say that, because I heard officers say their bodies was maybe like a year or two old. But when you hear that, that sound like y' all just went in the booth and spit that, bro.

[JID]

Music. It could be. It could come out in a week or it could be years, bro. It just depends on, like, the facilities. It depends on how that shit gets put together. Depends on the producer agreements, the artists, the labels. So much little that goes into one song going out or even. Not even to mention, like, a body of work. Like a full album. Like that. Yeah, we did that song in Hungs Out China Game.

[DJ Wells]

Wow.

[JID]

We had a festival in Hungs Out China. We did that in the hotel room for sure.

[Bishop (B H Out the Priest)]

Damn.

[JID]

Made some tweaks on it afterwards, but that's where it was, like, conceived at.

[DJ Wells]

That's crazy. I can't believe music take that long to come out.

[JID]

Two years. It could be.

[DJ Wells]

Did you forget about it, though, when you did that verse for him? Like, him?

[JID]

Yeah, for sure, for sure, for sure. And I don't even think I really liked it at the time I heard it. Cause as an artist, like, every day you growing, you think. You think better. Better. Like you trying to practice to get better. So at the time I'm like, damn, I could have gave him something a little harder, but it turned out like that. Did good. You know what I'm saying? They Billboard. All the little things you want your music to do when you drop something or something or being a part of, like, a album, like, so that did well. Like. And that's just been the case of. I don't know, just a case of how that is. Like, when you. When this kind of meant to be.

[DJ Wells]

Is there anybody else you want to work with that you haven't worked with before?

[JID]

Just like, the biggest. Maybe like. Like hov. You know what I'm saying? I love Jay.

[Bishop (B H Out the Priest)]

Producer, too.

[JID]

That would be crazy. Producer. Me and Metro got some shit. We've been working. That's the thing.

[DJ Wells]

I love working with Shout out to bro. Shout out to Metro.

[JID]

We was in St. Louis last night. Who else? Hit Boy. I with Hit Boy, but that ain't nothing. I could make a little cop. Yeah. But I do want to work with him. Alchemist.

[DJ Wells]

Alchemist would be. Yeah, that'll be a song produced by.

[JID]

Him on Freddy album.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah. Alfredo too. That Fire, too.

[JID]

I was on there, and that was like. But also me and Alchemist got some that I need to goddamn put out, but it ain't out to the world. So These just like my wish list type shit.

[DJ Wells]

Hey, bro, he one of the hardest working people I've seen on Earth, bro. He got a project out every other month, and that is fire, too. Every time, bro.

[JID]

Jeans, bro.

[Bishop (B H Out the Priest)]

How many songs you got sitting in the chamber, man?

[JID]

No, I'm loaded. I kind of got. Damn be on some overthink sometimes, so I got a lot of that. You know what I'm saying? That be the right there as an artist.

[Bishop (B H Out the Priest)]

Hey, I ain't gonna lie. I keep making I with y.

[DJ Wells]

Out, bro.

[Bishop (B H Out the Priest)]

I don't like it when y' all don't put the out. What be the reason, bro? Like, your art is your art. I get it. But I'm like, us is just fans of just music. Like, and the attention span is so low.

[JID]

Yeah.

[Bishop (B H Out the Priest)]

But I be feeling like when y' all holding on albums, it be like. Or song. I be feel like you got, like, at least a whole album be raw if you just dropped it today.

[JID]

Yeah, that be. I don't know. The overthinking thing is an artist, bro. That just come with the territory sometimes, bro. Yeah, it come with the territory, and I don't. I don't even know how to equate that. How would I equate that? Like, to, like, a sports. What's the name? Like, what would be over it? I don't even know.

[Bishop (B H Out the Priest)]

Oh, that's like not shooting the ball when you can go get 30.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah. Like going to practice.

[JID]

That sounds so bad when you put it like that.

[Bishop (B H Out the Priest)]

I'm gonna sit your ass down if you ain't gonna shoot the ball. What I got you out there for if you ain't gonna shoot?

[JID]

Damn. Y' all just snap out. They gonna clip farm this right here. Every artist, bro. Shoot the ball, bro. Yeah, bro.

[DJ Wells]

Nah, but I'm just trying to think, like, how y' all think of songs, bro. Like some people, like you said, you probably got what, 100, 200, 300 songs?

[JID]

Probably more than that, but.

[Bishop (B H Out the Priest)]

And they got more than that.

[DJ Wells]

Like how, bro? Like, how y' all thinking the songs.

[JID]

I would have been suck. You know, she could suck sometimes as a. As an artist. You throwing painted a while. You throw paint where it ain't. So sometimes they probably ain't up to par, sometimes not that confident in it, or sometimes you just. I don't. It'd be a. It's a plethora of things, bro.

[DJ Wells]

I'm just saying, like, the concept and.

[JID]

Oh, you're just saying make it the actual song. Like, oh, I hear the beat.

[DJ Wells]

Boom, boom, boom, yeah. And then I gotta spit a bar to that and like. Yeah. Not recycle nothing. Yeah, yeah.

[JID]

That is just. Is repetition.

[DJ Wells]

Well, I've been recycling. I said the same bar at least 50 times.

[JID]

Man.

[Bishop (B H Out the Priest)]

What?

[DJ Wells]

Ain't no way, bro. And the fact that you remember to perform because you be rapping. Rapping too. Yeah.

[JID]

Nice. It's. It's a gift. It's a gift. And then just harnessing in on that, bro, it's not like no regular. Like, I know everybody can rap. They say everybody can rap, but no, they cannot. It's a certain level. It's. It's. It's levels to everything in life. It's YMCA, you know what I'm saying? It's 47U football right now. It's all type of levels.

[DJ Wells]

And like you so n. That is so impressive. Now listen, you talk about the league. You go tap in. They got the 40, 40 under. What's up?

[JID]

Everybody includes. It's. That's our world is just all inclusive now. You know, everybody gets are crazy.

[DJ Wells]

They got to go to work. They out there risking it five yards now.

[Bishop (B H Out the Priest)]

How do you know what to put out though?

[JID]

Team. You know what I'm saying? It comes within the team. Team. And then if I feel super confident about something, like I'm gonna put it out type, all right. That's really all, bro. It goes how you feel. Neo team. And then of course, like when I say team, I'm thinking like management, blah blah, blah. That's like more the closer internal team. And then you got the label and stuff like that. Now the label, they dictate certain things, but they bottom line is make money. So if you want to put some product out, you can get that out. Unless it's just like not fine. That's. That's a case by case scenario. It just depends on like a person perspective what they like.

[Bishop (B H Out the Priest)]

This be my question to the rappers. Answer honestly, bro. How do you feel about people getting help with they pen.

[JID]

Ghost riders and stuff? Yeah, rapping. Specifically rapping.

[Bishop (B H Out the Priest)]

Not giving you a hook saying G. I wrote this little bar for you. Put it in there or I give you four bars. Are you gonna take my four bars? So if they fire or you gonna hate on me and say, no, I don't want it me. Keep it real, Jim.

[JID]

I been in sessions where like I have. I have a verse going and it ain't finished. You know what I'm saying? And would say like, hey, you da da da da. I, I might try it and change it. I try it just like all right.

[DJ Wells]

But.

[JID]

But I don't know. Music happen in so many different ways, bro. You can't really like on the idea if in the room. If you in a room full of trusted goddamn. You know what I'm saying? Trusted associates.

[Bishop (B H Out the Priest)]

Right.

[JID]

You might could use that part. That. That ain't a writing for you. Yeah, that ain't a right for you. A. With a quick little. You know what I'm saying zinger right quick. That'll fit right there. That ain't a right for you. That's just. That's studio vibes the goddamn giving you the whole layout.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, blah blah blah blah blah.

[JID]

Hey then. Oh no say like this. Oh hey, I like this. This house it.

[DJ Wells]

Huh.

[JID]

That's. That's.

[DJ Wells]

That's right.

[JID]

Yeah, but no a line I'm gonna say. Nah, that's cool. Do that.

[Bishop (B H Out the Priest)]

So if I be like bounce that ass like your friend do and you put that in your do, we write it together.

[DJ Wells]

Shout out to Belly.

[JID]

You might get a little P been up.

[Bishop (B H Out the Priest)]

No, I just for real always like cuz everybody's perspective with that is different.

[DJ Wells]

Like Chad GPT raps is not probably happy for live.

[Bishop (B H Out the Priest)]

Cuz I know R and B singers get treated different than rappers. And I always kind of wanted to know like wow, what does it matter if the song is fire?

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, I'm a song fire, dude. Like your song Fire is fire.

[JID]

That's the bottom line.

[DJ Wells]

For real.

[JID]

That really only thing that matter for if the music hard then she good.

[Bishop (B H Out the Priest)]

Okay.

[DJ Wells]

I want to ask you this question. I always ask performers what's more fun making the music or actually going on stage and performing it?

[JID]

It's kind of both. For real, bro. It's just different things. You know what I'm saying? The creation process in itself is like once you get it down, like you feel in the vibe you got them got the right production, the words coming to you good. That's like something you really can't compare to anything. It's kind of like the best feeling ever when you just feel like, oh, I nailed it. Notice, you know what I'm saying? I know a couple songs that I. A lot of the songs that I put out, like I felt like, oh, okay, this is. This is great. Like let's roll. But being on stage also and seeing people let those words that you wrote in that session take up their mental space and they know these words and waiting for you to perform it and foaming at the mouth for you to say this next line that like that connection right there, that's what the world is about. They say art. Like, what was the thing say art paint something in music paints time or some like that. I can't think about what art paints some life. Our paints life and music paints time. Some like that. I just read that this morning, and I was like, damn, that's kind of like genius as hell. You know what I'm saying? Oh, no. I don't know. I'm. I'm just rambling.

[DJ Wells]

I ain't mad at this. I was rambling. I just imagine, like. I mean, being outside. We got some, for instance, rappers just watching them cook on stage. It's like, watch somebody drop 30. Like, everybody around here crazy 50, bro. Yeah, bro. I don't even want to diminish. Like, dude hanging off the rafters, bro, with a beer in his hand.

[JID]

That's a 50 ball. Yeah, bro. Like, time of his life. Made it home safely, I suppose. Like, that shit's great.

[Commercial Voice]

Yes.

[DJ Wells]

Yes, he did. For legal purposes. He went home. He got that venue. We don't know where he went, but he went home. What did it say right there? Sure you found him, Mike? Yeah. Okay, where we at with it about the blondes?

[JID]

All right.

[DJ Wells]

Shout out to the production team is how we decorate.

[JID]

Space music is how we decorate.

[DJ Wells]

Damn, that's a bar.

[JID]

That's what it is. Shout. Bos said that. Yeah, yeah, I read that. I butchered the phrase. I always do that. But I definitely remember the intention.

[Bishop (B H Out the Priest)]

You did how you like how you do my rap?

[DJ Wells]

You made you. You interpreted how I would try Be AI rapper. That's what he getting to right now. Anybody be retemplant my boy tour don't.

[Bishop (B H Out the Priest)]

Sound too bad with you. God damn it.

[JID]

Hey, push up, man. Come on.

[DJ Wells]

The vibes is hot, bro.

[JID]

It's crazy.

[DJ Wells]

I just can't believe they go for a whole. They don't go home, bro. You see how I was after we left Atlanta?

[Bishop (B H Out the Priest)]

Like, boys was sick. We had five days off, bro.

[DJ Wells]

In between, came home, chilling, talking about going out.

[Bishop (B H Out the Priest)]

Like, we just went out last week.

[DJ Wells]

Traveling, playing.

[JID]

Oh, that's the worst. Oh, you think a tour bus is way better.

[Bishop (B H Out the Priest)]

Hell, no.

[JID]

I got a bed in the back. Twin. That bus put grown men to sleep like that mode. You know how it is when baby, now think about a tour brush. But you got a bed in there. It's 12 bumps in there. Damn. In the front on the 2K automatic. Okay. Got the 2K automatic. Are you racing or they on the F1 or something? Like.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, yeah, bro.

[JID]

It's a whole. It's Refrigerators, food, everything you need on there. Then like. Like I said, my. My bed is in the back, gang. Like I be late, I watch movie, you know, I'm not playing again. I'm doing everything I'm talking about. It's a way better experience than packing your bags, taking your shoes off, take out your computer, put it on the belt.

[Bishop (B H Out the Priest)]

That's only 15 minutes of this.

[JID]

That sucks.

[Bishop (B H Out the Priest)]
