JID: The glow up continues to blow up for the Dreamville star

Do you need even more reasons to keep tabs on how much rap artist JID is glowing up these days? Just look at how he’s staying busy-busy from leveling up on the Billboard Hot 100 to flexing on ‘The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.’

JID is on a non-stop flex from live shows to chart movement

It’s all about JID staying extra busy during the coldest season of the year. Pulling through for a recent performance on the ‘Tonight Show’ though? Extra tough.

Platinum certified rapper and Atlanta artist JID opened the first late night show back in 2024 by taking The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon stages by storm with a stirring performance of his viral hit “Surround Sound” backed by his long time collaborator and producer, Christo.

“Surround Sound” has amassed over 500 million streams and ended the year with #1 positioning on three different charts including Billboard Viral 50, TikTok Viral and TikTok 50. The song also re-entered the Billboard Hot 100 charts late last year and has climbed up to the #44 position as of this morning.

The Platinum certified track also features fellow Atlanta artists 21 Savage and Baby Tate  is off JID’s critically acclaimed album, The Forever Story (Dreamville/Interscope) which debuted at #12 on the Billboard Hot 200 when it first released last year. Last week JID dropped “30”, a freestyle produced by Christo as a way to prime fans for all new music dropping this year.
