| JID born Destin Routeon, on October 31, 1990, in Atlanta, Georgia, as the youngest of 7. He is a rapper that is currently (as of September 26,2022) signed to rapper J. Cole's record label Dreamville with 3 albums released, all of which were released under the Dreamville label, and currently houses 20 million streams on spotify. JID got his name as he was all over the place as a child which got him the nickname "Jiddery" from his late grandmother and uses JID as his stage name now because of it. He originally didn't have plans of becoming a rapper going to college under a football scholarship which would later get revoked from him as revealed in his song "2007". While he was in college he was friends with a producer which would keep pushing him to rap as he was already rapping over his beats but never dropped any of his music. He then also would meet rappers from his hometown Atlanta Johnny Venus and Doctur Dot who are known as "Earthgang" who are also now signed to Dreamville with JID and they would create a group called metropolis. JID losing his scholarship would ultimatly lead him into leaving the college and heading back to Atlanta but he would get kicked out by his father as they had a disagreement with his father thinking he should either go to college or get a job while JID was passionate over persuing the rap game.
