Following the success of 'The Forever Story', which featured the likes of Lil Wayne, 21 Savage, and Yasiin Bey, JID made a ferocious reintroduction with ‘WRK’. Produced by frequent collaborator Christo and Pluss, the track blends sharp lyricism with booming 808s and crisp trap percussion, reaffirming his status as one of hip-hop’s most technically gifted MCs.

The accompanying visual delivers the same energy - stark, cinematic, and unflinching, setting the tone for what fans can expect from this new era. JID doesn’t hold back, addressing ambition, self-doubt, and hunger with the kind of clarity that only comes from time away and growth.

With 'God Does Like Ugly' on the horizon, JID is proving once again why he's in a league of his own. Tap into ‘WRK’ now, and prepare for one of the year’s most anticipated rap releases.
