J.I.D. In Concert
You're going to want to catch a live set from the Atlanta rapper behind one of 2018's most acclaimed hip-hop albums. J.I.D. brings a vital energy and lyrical dexterity to his songs live on the stage, and he's no stranger to huge crowds: in 2017, he opened up for J. Cole's 4 Your Eyez Only tour, joining his Dreamville Records boss on a six-month stretch that spanned North America, Europe, and Australia. Following that marathon run of performances, J.I.D. set out in 2017 on his Never Had Sh*t tour — the rapper's first headlining trek, which featured support from EarthGang, members of his Spillage Village collective. Since then, J.I.D.'s graced the stage at Miami's 2018 Rolling Loud festival and performed "Skrawberries" live on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon as a tribute to his frequent collaborator, Mac Miller. In early 2019, he'll be taking off on a 34-city tour — named the Catch Me If You Can tour after the 2002 film starring his hero, Leonardo DiCaprio — which begins at Chicago's Patio Theater and caps off in Birmingham, Alabama.
J.I.D. Background
At age 28, J.I.D. is finally beginning to get the attention he deserves, thanks to an undeniable combination of masterful rapping and good old-fashioned hard work. Born with the auspicious name of Destin Choice Route, the East Atlanta native got his nickname from his grandmother, a reference to his "jittery" demeanor. The same erratic nature informs his rap style: his restless, kinetic bars trace the intricate patterns of a mind racing at a mile a minute. J.I.D. grew up on Atlanta's Bouldercrest Road, the same stomping grounds as a young Gucci Mane. But where Gucci's songs sprang from trap houses, J.I.D. favors jazzy, upbeat boom-bap that folds in influences from trap, soul, and R&B. You could say the guy's a rapper's rapper; after five years of mixtapes and EPs, he even got J. Cole's attention, signing to the North Carolina superstar's Dreamville label in 2017 and releasing his debut album, The Never Story, the same year. But 2018 was J.I.D.'s biggest year yet: he nabbed a coveted spot on the cover of XXL's 2018 Freshman Class and released DiCaprio 2, his best album to date, with features from A$AP Ferg, Ella Mai, and Method Man. (And of course, J. Cole, who J.I.D. inarguably out-raps on the album's second single, "Off Deez," in a thrilling student-becomes-the-teacher moment.) The newfound acclaim couldn't be more deserved: in an era where virality often seems to trump skill, J.I.D. proves that craftsmanship still matters.
One of the best rappers to see live. His shows always have soooo much energy. He brought some surprise guests and the building went crazy. If you're thinking about going stop thinking and just do it!
JID is one of the best rap artists doing it right now. His live shows are the best definition of wild & crazy! He also has one of the best fan base in the game! If you ever get a chance to experience on of his concerts you won’t be disappointed
Amazing show from all 3 artists!!! Will definitely be seeing them again soon.
True talent in both artistry and entertainment. I truly enjoyed myself!
Besides the doorman who was having a power trip, preventing me from bringing my Chucky doll into the venue, the night was top notch. Mereba, Saba, Cozz, & J.I.D all rocked the mic and made for a memorable concert experience especially given that it was at the strict af' House of Blues location. I had recently just seen Saba, Cozz & J.I.D all at the Dreamville festival back in August but I'm so pleased I attended this show to see these artist more in depth, and with a better view may I add. To top it all off at the shows end the East Atlanta Playboy himself greeted all the fans who worked their way up to the front of the barricade and signed items and took photos. Luckily for me and my girl we were already posted near the front of the stage so I was able to get my Dreamville festival t-shirt signed and also touched knuckles with the homie J.I.D, rad ass!
It was amazing and worth every dollar. This was a gift for a friend and he loved it! So I’m definitely happy. The fan interaction was awesome! JID, Mereba, Deante, and all other performers stage presence was spectacular. I definitely will go to their concerts. I literally had the time of my life after the show. I was able to get photos and autographs. Slight cons: The times we were given were a lot earlier than most of us thought it should’ve been, so we were in a long line of people waiting for an hour and a half. The fact VIP is standing room only isn’t cool. I wish there was better crowd control and I don’t appreciate how venue workers were letting a few people bribe them to get in front of the barrier gate.
LITTTTTT I really enjoyed myself at his concert I def needed that 🔥🔥
The show was legit from the lighting to the music, House Of Blues
really nice venue with a decent sized pit and a cool upper balcony and raised areas to see the stage and not be in the pit. overall really great experience
They killed it!! Hands down. J.i.d., SABA, Mereba, and Deante Hitcock all were great. Definitely worth it y'all! Listen to REAL MUSIC.
Such a fun all around show ! Everybody was so down to earth and the music bumbs like no other
worth every dollar. it was quite the experience. also dope openers, maybe ill be workin with u, or them one day
Best show I have ever been to. Great performances so many surprises.
JID did a great job and everyone leading up to him was great. I enjoyed it all. It was my second concert and it was probably my favorite one so far.
The sound was great, lighting was great, and i like the layout of the building alot. Parking and getting in can be a pain but thats only cuz its dead in the middle of downtown B-More. Would highly recommended seeing a show here and plan to do so again myself!!
This show was one of the best I’ve ever been to from open to close. The openers did their thing and J.I.D’s live show is CRAZY I saw some people get trampled once or twice. He sounds just the same live and brings hella energy. So many Pittsburgh natives were there and they lit the city on fire. I was disappointed the after party got cancelled cause I would’ve stayed out all night lol. Also I met Reason and J.I.D and everyone stuck around for autographs after the show. The whole experience was outstanding if he comes back I’ll be there again for sure!!
Rex theater is a smallish venue which made the experience even cooler. Everyone there was packed in and a huge fan, singing every word and going nuts for the entirety of the show. Reason was the opening act and he BROUGHT IT. Fantastic way to kick it off. JID came out and it couldn't be any better. I knew he was supposed an amazing live performer but he passed all expectations. He was absolutely amazing and knew how to engage the crowd. The only negative about the night is I don't know if I'll ever go to a better show again.
Best show ever, all of the fans knew the words to every song. J.I.D., Hardo, and Reason were all great!
J.I.D, Earthgang, Lute & Chaz French were amazing!!! Great night and good venue.
The show was amazing! Took pictures with Chaz, just like I wanted. Couldn't have been more perfect!!
