Biography
JID is the stage name of rapper Destin Choice Route, who launched his career with a string of gold-certified hip-hop singles during the late 2010s. Born in Atlanta, Georgia, on 31 October 1990, he played two seasons of NCAA Division I football as a college student in Virginia before releasing his debut mixtape, Cakewalk, in 2010. That same year, he teamed up with members of Earthgang to form the hip-hop collective Spillage Village. JID spent the first half of the 2010s releasing mixtapes as a solo artist and collaborating with his Spillage Village partners on albums like 2014's Bears Like This, then signed with Dreamville Records as a solo artist in 2017. The Never Story, his solo debut, was released that same year and spawned a gold-selling single, "Never." DiCaprio 2 followed in 2018, peaked at number 41 on Billboard 200, and produced another pair of gold-certified hits with "151 Rum" and "Off Deez". One year later, he appeared on the Dreamville compilation Revenge of the Dreamers III, which rose to number one on both the Billboard 200 and the Top Rap Albums chart. Revenge of the Dreamers III featured JID on the track "Down Bad," which received a Grammy Award nomination for Best Rap Performance, as well as the platinum-selling single "Costa Rica", which hit number 30 on Billboard's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs. After collaborating with Imagine Dragons on the 2021 single "Enemy," he earned another Top 40 hit on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart with 2022's "Surround Sound," his first release from the album The Forever Story. In 2025, he rallied the likes of Ciara, Vince Staples, and many more guests for new album God Does Like Ugly.
