“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.”
“**💭 Thoughts:** JID’s 2022 studio album *The Forever Story* is the rapper at his best, delivering consistently effortless flows and creative wordplay. I’m not a fan of some of the production choices throughout this album—whether it be a singular aspect of a beat or an instrumental in its entirety—but JID’s technical ability in rapping makes up for it. **🎶 Tracklist Review** 1.) Galaxy 🟢 2.) Raydar 🟢 3.) Dance Now 🟡 4.) Crack Sandwich 🔵🥇 5.) Can’t Punk Me 🟢 6.) Surround Sound 🟡 7.) Kody Blu 3 🔵 8.) Bruddanem 🟢 9.) Sistanem 🔵🥈 10.) Can’t Make U Change 🟢 11.) Stars 🔵🥉 12.)

“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”
“JID’s best album to date. Rapping, songwriting and production on this album is great, features play their part too. Some of the flows JID has on this album are crazy. Top songs are ‘Surround Sound’ ft 21 Savage & Baby Tate ‘Crack Sandwich’ ‘Sistanem’ ‘Can’t Make You Change’ ft Ari Lennox ‘2007’”
“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.”
“A little long but I js wish the production made JID use his fast flow more often I feel like the album was like “wasted potential” besides Raydar and Dance Now those were phenomenal”
“JID is on another level for this project, my favorite and his BEST”
