To me, JID has more soul than any rapper since Pac. Because not only could they both tell a story as good as the best of them, but to me, they both make you feel the words they are saying. He has a lot of headbanging, more mainstream joints, but what impressed me are the low-key classics that flew under the radar.
The first song hit me hard because it reminds me so much of my childhood with my little brother.
But if you look at it very closely, it conveys the feeling of how sometimes some of our fondest childhood memories were during some of the roughest periods of our lives. A good example of this is his ine about "I would kill someone if they feed me a boligona sandwich" only for him later on to say "I would kill to go back and eat one of those boligona sanwhices", implying this duality in growing up black and the ending is heartbreaking and heartfelt.
I love this video because rather than point out how fucked up some women can be, it suggest that some of it can be due to past down trauma.
And of course, Kody Blu 31 for portraying black success and how it can affect and connect your family. In this "ME first" era that we live in it more than refreshing to see a rapper rap about connecting to his family roots.
