JID's always keeping busy. The 31-year-old rapper teased a new album at Coachella this year just after scoring his first top ten hit with his Imagine Dragon's collab "Enemy."
Now, he's collaborating with another big name: John Legend. On Legend's "Dope," JID raps over a beat which feels like it was ripped directly from Pharrell's hard drive. His lyrics revolve around his infatuation with a woman he's chasing, fitting in well with Legend's verses discussing a similar lust. Legend, for his part, delivers classic Legend-esque riffs, the most notable of which reaches into the upper-most reaches of his register.
The groovy single comes in a long line of collaborations for JID. The rapper has recently linked up with Lil Yachty for "Van Gogh," and appeared to be cooking up new music with none other than Dr. Dre. He's also been named as a feature for EARTHGANG's new album, Ghetto Gods.
