JID continues to tick things off his bucket list — the latest being an appearance on primetime news.
On Tuesday (January 9), the Dreamville rapper shared a video on Instagram of his recent interview on ABC News, saying the surreal experience has left him “humbled.”

“Bruh we made @abcnews 11 old year old J.I.D never even dreamed of this!!” he wrote in the caption. “We humbled and was nervous af, but thankful.”
In the interview, JID touched on the recent success of his viral hit “Surround Sound,” his college football career and upcoming music.

“We’re dropping more music and, of course, finishing the Metro project,” he said, referencing his joint album with the super-producer.
The 33-year-old also revealed he plans on writing a children’s book: “It’s called Astrid the Ostrich, an African Bird. I’m still working on it, but it’s just about emotions that a child would go through and I’m doing it my type of way. It’s going to be cool.”
In another major TV moment, JID performed “Surround Sound” on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon earlier this week, marking his second appearance on the late-night spot.
Both appearances come on the heels of the rapper receiving a boost from the virality of social media trends, resulting in the aforementioned track becoming a chart-topper.
Last month, the Atlanta native’s collaboration with 21 Savage and Baby Tate — taken from his album The Forever Story — soared to No. 1 on Billboard’s TikTok Top 50 chart, almost two years after its initial release.
The Aretha Franklin-sampling song gained a lot of traction on the platform thanks to the “Booty Ceiling Challenge,” a trend which sees TikTok users taping their phones to a ceiling object to capture the best angle and proceeding to twerk.

“Bruh this challenge/song so fye from the wholesome shit to the risqué freaky shit, the point of music is to make people come together and feel something .. Job well done af , keep goin,” JID tweeted while celebrating the achievement.
The lyricist recently made his return with a new song called “30 (Freestyle)” and hinted at dropping plenty of new music throughout the rest of 2024.
