JID / The Forever Story
Album review
JID / The Forever Story
ATL出身のRapper, JIDの4年ぶりの3作目。J. ColeのDreamville所属でSpillage Villageのメンバーとしても知られ、現在32歳と油ののっている人でもある。
サウンドはオーガニックで、サウスらしいアーシーさも併せ持ち、サンプリング多めのTrackはファンクで耳馴染みの良いものが並ぶ。KaytranadaやJames Blakeなど多方面からの制作陣や、Ari Lennox, Ravyn Lenaeといった今が旬の女性Vocalも参加し、バラエティにも富んでいる。また、⑮ではThundercatがインパクトを残している。
JIDのフローは、少し撚れ気味であるが、技巧は高めで、高速Rapも披露している。
Lyricは家族や仲間、音楽への愛などを綴っていて、そのせいか、アルバムを通して、温かみのある印象を受ける。
