At this year’s Dreamville Festival, JID delivered an electrifying set that left fans buzzing with excitement, not only for his performance but for what he shared next—a teaser of his highly anticipated collaborative album with Metro Boomin. The Atlanta rapper premiered a new track titled “WRK” during his performance, which had fans eagerly waiting for more. To fuel the fire, JID also shared a high-quality snippet of the track on his social media, giving his audience a taste of what’s to come.

Teasing New Material

“WRK” has already sparked significant interest and is available for pre-save on JID’s official website. Alongside it, the rapper teased three additional songs: “DRP,” “Killers Back,” and “HoodByJID Freestyle.” These titles have only added to the growing anticipation surrounding the joint project with Metro Boomin, signaling that a full-length album is on the way.

While fans are clearly hyped, JID kept details about the release dates of the collaborative project and his own solo album close to the chest. In an interview with Complex at the Raleigh, North Carolina festival, he shared his excitement for both projects but kept things vague on specifics. “When the work is there, you’re gonna know exactly what it is,” JID promised. “I promise, when it’s presented, you’re gonna know exactly what it is. There’s not gonna be so much of a mystery around it.”

The Collaboration with Metro Boomin

A joint album between JID and Metro Boomin has been in the works since 2023, when the acclaimed producer posted a photo of the duo in the studio. Metro captioned the image with, “Got a lot of new music coming but when me and @JIDsv drop [fire emoji] [spiral eye emoji].” In response, JID confirmed the collaboration was much more than a single track, correcting a tweet that implied it was just a teaser.

Their chemistry in the studio appears undeniable. JID responded to Metro’s tweet, saying, “I love working with u brudda, it’s an honor,” with Metro returning the compliment, writing, “Honor is mine family [handshake emoji].” This exchange highlighted the mutual respect and bond between the two artists, giving fans even more hope for an album full of creativity and powerful collaboration.

JID’s Upcoming Solo Album: Forever & A Day

In addition to his work with Metro Boomin, JID also gave fans a glimpse into his upcoming solo album, which is tentatively titled Forever & A Day. He previously teased some of the material from the album in an unexpected way—a WingStop commercial. In March, JID teamed up with the fast food chain to narrate an ad for their new chicken tenders, in which the background music featured a beat from his forthcoming project.

On Instagram, JID shared, “Thank you to @wingstop for letting me curate this #ad with production from my next album.” In a playful comment, he added, “Y’all really mad at me for loving wings plus the beat is from my album, THe ALBum lol come on man, yall being stiff.” He further joked, “A n-gga leaking his album beats thru a wingstop commercial, come on we playing a different game.”
