October 31, 1990), better known by the stage name JID, is an American rapper from Zone 6, Atlanta, Georgia. He describes himself as “a soft-spoken but intricate lyricist with a cocky side.” His stage name originates from “jittery,” his grandmother’s nickname for him due to his sporadic behavior as a child.
He first appeared on the Atlanta hip-hop scene with his debut EP, DiCaprio, in 2015. Growing up, JID's first connection with music was through his parents' collection of classic funk and soul LPs. After a stint at Hampton University playing football, JID also hooked up with fellow MCs as part of the Spillage Village collective. By 2012, he had dropped out of college to focus on music, and in 2014 he headed out on what would be a productive tour with EarthGang, Bas, and Ab-Soul. Touring allowed JID to craft his skills, and a year later he recorded and dropped the DiCaprio EP, which saw him team up with a host of producers, as well as EarthGang. While keen to distance himself from the generic abrasive trap sound that had dominated the Atlanta scene, JID wanted to deliver something that was more than just about a beat, and instead focused his time and effort on lyrics as well. In 2016, JID, alongside the rest of the Spillage Village crew, released the album Bears Like This Too Much, which saw the rapper honing his unique delivery and inspired lyrics. In 2017, he announced that he had signed to J. Cole's Dreamville label (a connection made with the rapper via JID's part in the 2014 tour with Bas and Cole's friend and producer Cedric Brown), which released the single Never and full-length The Never Story at the beginning of the year. In September of 2018, he issued the single "151 Rum," the first offering from DiCaprio 2, his sophomore full-length and sequel to his 2015 EP. Later that year he released the album "Dicaprio 2". JID released his most recent album, "The Forever Story" on August 26th, 2022, the two singles on the album, "Surround Sound (feat. 21 Savage & Baby Tate)" and "Dance Now" were released on January 14th 2022, and August 9th 2022 respectively.

Just Da Other Day
Jid Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
Just the other day it was a just dream to make it
Just the other day, that same dream, they tried to take it
Just the other day all you wanna do is see 'em be great
Just the other day, they look you in your face, eyes full of hate
Bobby Kritical
Just the other day I was goddamn broke
You got a five, I got a five, let's smoke
Just the other day I was running from them folks
Like (ooh, ooh) niggas is too slow
Just the other day I was telling all my bros (woah, woah)
Nigga it's time to go
Just the other day I was goddamn (goddamn)
Just the other day I was, yeah
Just the other day I was broke as a bitch
Walking to walk work in the hot sun, soaking it in
I never been a dope man, but I'm the dopest of man
Buying some smoke from the dude with the dope
Throw five, four point five, so on, so forth
I'm tryna get my fucking goals, not Goyard
Paying for the lawyers, get my bros out the courtyard
'Cause I got the ear for the flows, not Mozart, but damn a nigga go hard
Put me on a postcard or miss me til the show start
My niggas got a Benz and he push it like a go-cart
Tryna get one of them, but my ends like "Don't start
The bullshit again 'fore you end up a broke"
But, again, so don't pretend
Oh we remember, last September, like the coldest winter
Man I really had to show these niggas I owe these niggas a throat slit, know me nigga
Just the other day I was goddamn broke
You got a five, I got a five, let's smoke
Just the other day I was running from them folks
Like (Ooh, ooh) niggas is too slow
Just the other day I was telling all my bros (woah, woah)
Nigga it's time to go
Just the other day I was goddamn (goddamn)
Just the other day I was, yeah
Today, today, I woke up like this (I woke up like this)
My girl on my left, no watch on my wrist (a girl on my left, no watch my wrist)
Some rings on my fist (some rings on my fist)
What we did last night? Was it a hurricane in here last night?
It would appear that something sexual or severe having being
That I see liquor and beer, weed people still in the living room sleep, come and see
She say "I'm dizzy," don't wanna move, just wanna lay under me
Honestly, I know that just other day you was goddamn broke
Watch outside, that nigga shot them folks
Glock in the ride, you gotta watch them folks
And the cops be wilding, we ain't even provoke 'em
I remember being broker than I is right now
Tryna find a place to live, shit I'm is right now
In doubt of my next move, get a pill, bite down, find focus
I grab pen, it was poetry in motion
Not the same for many folks, different strokes, colloquialism
Idiot vision, y'all seen I was doing the most
Definite dope, it's on the scene, not in need of a vote
Reppin' the city, what's ya team, nigga, fuck 'em
East Atlanta king and I mean every letter
But when I'm good, I'm good, when I'm bad, I'm better
The man of the method, it's a method to the madness
I'm steppin' in my bag, with the cannon, step back
Reppin' the city, showing love that I don't ever get back
But that's the plight of a player, plot an attack and rockin' and rappin'
Rippin' rappers off of the fuckin' map
Suckers suffer, succotash
I need that Mark Zucker bag, Zuckerberg
Hovercraft flows, I don't fuck with that
Bullshit below, from the ceiling to the floor
Full schizo for the dough
New pistol, but I know I'm planting seeds so they can grow
But if they don't, then I don't know
But all I know, a nigga
Just the other day I was goddamn broke
You got a five, I got a five, let's smoke
Just the other day I was running from them folks
Like (ooh, ooh) niggas is too slow
Just the other day I was telling all my bros (woah, woah)
Nigga it's time to go
Just the other day I was goddamn
Just the other day I was, yeah
Just the other day, that same dream, they tried to take it
Just the other day all you wanna do is see 'em be great
Just the other day, they look you in your face, eyes full of hate

The song "Just Da Other Day" by Jid tells a story of his rise from humble beginnings to success. At the beginning of the song, he states that not too long ago, his dream was just to make it, but now, people are trying to take it from him. He describes how people looked at him with hate in their eyes when he was on the come-up.
Jid goes on to describe how he was broke not too long ago, always just scraping by to get what he needed. He talks about walking to work under the hot sun and buying weed from a local dealer. Despite his struggles, Jid never lost sight of his goals, always striving to improve his situation. He faced many obstacles, including running from the police and trying to find a place to live.
Despite his hardships, Jid's determination and hard work allowed him to overcome his struggles and reach success. He wakes up on this day with his girlfriend by his side and multiple rings on his fingers, having left his previous life behind him. The song's message is that success takes hard work and determination, and you should never give up on your dreams.

This is such a powerful song. Makes me feel so much nostalgia and want to go back to a simpler time. JID is such a powerful artist
@loganteal8288
Logan L the production invokes nostalgia. Give props to everyone. It isn't a one man job
@loganl2005
Logan Teal Oh definitely I just kinda defer it to him. I completely agree though. Production is even harder than the actual rapping
