Posted by JID has revealed the tracklist to his anticipated The Forever Story album, which is set to arrive on Friday (August 26).
The album boasts 16 tracks — 17 in total if “2007” is included, but the potential LP closer was scrapped due to sample clearance issues.
Look for the Dreamville rapper to be assisted in executing his vision with cameos from Lil Durk, Lil Wayne, Ari Lennox, 21 Savage, Yasiin Bey, Johnta Austin, EarthGang, Kenny Mason and more.
“The official features on The Forever Story, wana say thank you to everyone who helped put these words and sounds together, this meant the world to me because none of this wa[s] eas[y] and your gave your all to my vision,” JID wrote on Instagram.

The project will arrive via Dreamville Records, but signing to J. Cole wasn’t always the plan for JID. The Spillage Village MC admitted earlier this month that he nearly became a member of the Quality Control family.
