Until J.I.D drops The Forever Story album, fans will have to settle for his new “Surround Sound” video. When the year started, the Dreamville rapper promised new music and he delivered.
The video “Surround Sound,” directed by Mac Grant and Chad Tennies, features fellow Georgia natives 21 Savage and Baby Tate and it shows all three artist performing in a garage.
The video begins with J.I.D jumping inside an empty old school car and once the engine starts, the party begins. The inside of the car all of is all of a sudden filled people and has the music blasting.
Beside turning up in the whip, J.I.D turn up with a few ladies whiles he’s rapping as well. 21 follows up by rapping his verse standing next to J.I.D and Baby Tate sings her vocals while laying on top of the car.
After Baby Tate’s verse, the “Surround Sound” transitions into part two of the video. Mac Grant and Chad Tennies shot the second part in black and white, and J.I.D is just spitting bars all throughout a weird looking house.
Again, although J.I.D is yet to drop is highly-anticipated The Forever Story album, we can still expect a lot from the Dreamville artist this year. He recently announced that he’s be performing at the 2022 Coachella music festival, now we new music. Watch his “Surround Sound.” video below.

Dreamville’s J.I.D needs answers. The hip-hop artist has come forward to speak on rap heavyweight Drake catching big L’s at Camp Flog Gnaw.
J.I.D. went to Twitter Monday morning to ask fans why the 6 God received ill treatment after coming out this past weekend as a surprise performer.
I thought we collectively loved Drake, wat y’all doing?

Earlier Monday, footage surfaced of Drake getting booed after hitting the stage at Tyler, the Creator’s annual music festival.
In footage doing the rounds on social media, the Canadian hip-hop star can been seen pleading with the audience: “Like I said, I’m here for you,” and, “If you want me to keep going, I’ll keep going.” He was met with a cacophony of boos and “nos”, which results in him exiting stage left. “It’s been love. I go by the name of Drake, thank you for having me,” he says as he walks off, reportedly ending his set 20 minutes early. Harsh. (Billboard)
Here’s a video from Camp Flog Gnaw.
Drake: “I’m here for you tonight. If you want to keep going, I will keep going. What’s up?”
Some fans boo loudly. One yells “No!”
Drake seemingly cuts his set short & ends the show there. “It’s been love.”pic.twitter.com/n1BYrvLThc

According to reports, fans expected Odd Future’s Frank Ocean to pull through for a performance.
Apparently, fans were hoping that Frank Ocean would be the surprise guest, and when Drake showed up and tried to perform he quite literally got booed off the stage and left. But not before pleading with the audience to give him a chance. “I’m here for you tonight. If you want to keep going tonight, I will keep going,” he said while audience members screamed “Noooooo” and “Booooo.” (Cosmopolitan)
Over the past few hours, the Internet has lit Drizzy up with hard-hitting memes.
ITS NOT THAT WE WERE ENTITLED, ITS THAT DRAKE LITERALLY SAID “IM ONLY SUPPOSED TO DO THREE SONGS…” we were hyped, but then… he kept going? Why wouldn’t he just say he was the closer?? #campfloggnaw2019 pic.twitter.com/WNfvrrNMhA
