Watch the Atlanta standout do his thing.

Recently, the ever polarizing XXL Freshmen list was revealed, boasting a collection of names predominantly included in the unfair classification, “SoundCloud rap”. With guys like Smokepurpp and Lil Pump gracing the cover, it served as another reminder that this once highly coveted list is purely a popularity concert–for the most part. One of the rappers included in this year’s list might have been relegated to backrow cover shoot status, but his bars are anything but second class; ironically, he’s probably the best rapper out of the 10 selected. I’m talking about J.I.D, and today, we can watch his talents on full-display with the release of his Freshman freestyle video.
