JID Is $2,000 Answer On “Jeopardy!”

by

JID recently entered another echelon of rap royalty, as he was an answer for a $2,000 question on Jeopardy! Moreover, the question was in the “Fight Songs” category and was the highest-scoring question in that field. Furthermore, the question posited a prompt and asked players to try to guess which rapper’s song they referenced. While many fans of the Atlanta MC might expect an established classic like “NEVER” or “Off Deez,” the prompt actually mentioned one of his biggest pop crossover collaborations. “‘Who the baddest?’” the prompt read. “‘It don’t matter ’cause we at your throat,’ this 3-letter guy raps on ‘Enemy,’ his collaboration with Imagine Dragons.”

After the show runners revealed the question, one player in particular was lightning-quick to give the correct answer. Justin exclaimed “Who’s JID?” as he laughed and gave a big smile to the host. “That’s right, you’re excited,” she replied. Given that the 32-year-old had arguably the best album of last year, it’s no wonder his fans feel so passionately about him. This joins the ranks of other famous rappers and rap songs who’ve appeared on the enduringly popular game show. However, JID’s inclusion is likely one of the most recent hip-hop references in the show’s history.

JID Joins The Jeopardy! Ranks

Furthermore, the “Workin Out” MC is also getting other extracurricular achievements under his belt. For example, he recently released the first single to Dreamville’s upcoming Creed III soundtrack. The track “Ma Boy” also features label mate Lute over an energetic and chilling beat. Both lyricists also display their talents with the pen as two of the collective’s most accomplished writers, which is saying a lot. While the soundtrack drops next week on the film’s theatrical release date of March 3rd, Bas just dropped another single for the project with Black Sheriff and Kel-P.

Meanwhile, many fans are hoping that JID gets back to one of his other trademark talents: freestyling. Recently, he revealed that Funk Flex’s meager response to his off-the-dome display dissuaded him from engaging in them again. However, after the legendary DJ called him one of his favorite rappers right now, it seems the two might run it back soon. Still, stick around on HNHH to hear the latest news, updates, and accomplishments from the one and only JID.

JID & Lute Preview Dreamville Executive Produced “CREED III” Soundtrack With “Ma Boy” Single

by

We’re just one month away from the exciting premiere of CREED III. As the countdown continues, two of Dreamville’s most prominent lyricists – JID and Lute – have shared a joint track from the film’s forthcoming soundtrack. “Ma Boy” landed on DSPs on Friday (February 3). It sets undoubtedly high expectations for the rest of the songs the label is putting together.

J. Cole’s team is executive producing the music for the Michael B. Jordan-directed effort. However, that doesn’t mean we’ll only be hearing from Dreamville artists on the tracklist.

“Dreamville/Interscope Records worked closely with the franchise’s producers MGM, Proximity and Outlier to create a musical experience that fit not just the film’s needs but one that will be celebrated as its own piece of art,” a press release explains.

“Inspired by both the film and the coming together of various artists on a soundtrack that matches the film’s acclaim and impact on community and culture.”

The full CREED III soundtrack will later be available across DSPs on March 3rd – the same day of the film’s theatrical debut.

Quotable Lyrics:

I take a chance and land it, you just be rollin’ the dice
My heart is as cold as Atlantic, I just be drippin’ in ice
I been that guy since I landed, you a know a real one in sight
You know that this wasn’t handed, you know this really my life
