J.I.D Shares “2007” Featuring Appearances From His Dad & J. Cole
Written by SOURCE on August 19, 2022
J.I.D has blessed fans with “2007,” a deeply personal cut featuring his father as well as J. Cole and Dreamville president Ibrahim “Ib” Hamad.
The ATL rapper announced the release on social media Thursday night, confirming it was supposed to be the outro of his fast-approaching album The Forever Story but was ultimately cut because of clearance issues.
“As we draw near to The Forever Story, I wanna give insight on the process of trying to put together a solid body of work,” he wrote. “Initially I wanted to create an album that serves as an origin story and speaks to who I am and what I came from. This song has been in the works for 2 years and was supposed to be the outro on the album. Things didn’t work out but this story is too pertinent to the picture we want to paint. This has been the heaviest project for me to make and I take pride in my vulnerability that came in the midst of creation.”
“2007” was co-produced by Latrell James, Groove, and Christo, and arrived as J.I.D celebrated his father’s birthday.
You can listen to the song now via YouTube above. The Forever Story—the follow-up to J.I.D’s 2018 album DiCaprio 2—is expected to arrive Aug. 26.
