The song is his first solo cut in three years
Grammy-nominated and platinum-selling rapper J.I.D has returned with his new single “WRK.” Produced by Grammy-winning producer Pluss and longtime collaborator Christo, “WRK” centers J.I.D signature double time bars, infectious word plays and vocal changes that keeps the listener hooked for the length of the three-minute track.
The song was first teased at Dreamville Festival earlier this month when J.I.D played it to packed crowds in Raleigh, N.C. with fans having already shared the snippet online feverishly.
Though the Atlanta rapper has stayed busy with sold out tours and collaborations with Lil Yachty, Ab-Soul, NewJeans, Eminem and more — “WRK” is the first solo cut from J.I.D since the release of his critically acclaimed album, The Forever Story, released via Dreamville/Interscope Records in 2022. Almost a year after its release, a cut from the record — the infectious track “Surround Sound” — soar to viral acclaim with its own TikTok challenge and ended the year in the No. 1 position across Billboard Viral 50, TikTok Viral and TikTok 50. The song featuring Atlanta natives 21 Savage and Baby Tate re-entered the Billboard Hot 100 charts in 2024 and certified triple platinum by the RIAA.
