This week on A Waste of Time with ItsTheReal, we welcome Dreamville rapper and Atlanta native J.I.D. to the Upper West Side! Fresh off supporting J. Cole on his 4 Your Eyez Only Tour, J.I.D. discusses his All-American high school football career, following in the footsteps of his brother, and the injury that sent his dreams into tumult. J.I.D. talks leaving the comforts of Atlanta for college in Virginia, the circumstances that sent him back down I-95, and the realities of being a nascent rapper in Atlanta: sleeping on couches, questionable performance spaces, and delivering pizzas. All that, plus living with Earthgang, hanging with 6lack, racing Bas, meeting J.Cole, finding his own sound, signing to Interscope, reconnecting with his parents, and much more!
