JID Officially Adds Emotional Centerpiece ‘2007’ Back To ‘The Forever Story’

When JID released his emotional new album, The Forever Story, it was without the project’s emotional centerpiece, a track called “2007” which featured his father, J. Cole, and Dreamville president Ib Hamad. Ahead of releasing the album, he shared “2007” with his fans, which he said was supposed to be the album’s outro tying together its themes of family and personal growth. Unfortunately, due to sample clearance he issues, he was forced to leave it off The Forever Story despite its thematic resonance.

However, today, he returned with some good news: “2007 is Freee,” he wrote on Twitter. “I’m up early really replaying TFS the correct way.”

In addition to “2007,” the album also features the singles “Dance Now,” “Kody Blu 31,” “Money,” and “Crack Sandwich.” Meanwhile, he’ll continue to promote the album with the upcoming Luv Is 4ever Tour co-headlined by Smino, who just put out his own third album, Luv 4 Rent. JID also made his NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert debut this year, taking fans on a tour of Black music history. You can listen to “2007” as part of The Forever Story here and check out JID’s tour dates below.
