The Forever Story is the upcoming third studio album by American rapper JID. It is scheduled to be released on August 26, 2022.
Background
The Forever Story was a highly anticipated project,[1][2] as it marks JID's first solo output in four years, since the critically acclaimed DiCaprio 2 was released in 2018. Our Generation Music wrote: "With a forthcoming album that's been in the works for nearly a half decade, fans could ironically call the wait for JID's next project 'The Forever Story.'"[3] He began teasing his third studio album in 2019 through use of social media, but promotion did not begin until January 2022, when the lead single, "Surround Sound", was released. In March 2022, JID promised fans that "[A]fter I drop[,] [you] guys will never wait this long for music from me again". During his performance at Coachella in April 2022, he told the crowd he would announce the album release date during another performance the next week; however, he never ended up doing it.[4] On August 9, 2022, JID unveiled the album artwork and revealed that it would be released on August 26. A second single from the album, "Dance Now", was also released the same day.[5]
Conceptually, The Forever Story is a sequel to JID's debut studio album, The Never Story, released in 2017.[3] The title is a direct reference to the 2017 album's title, and the artwork alludes to the 2017 album's artwork.[5] The artwork also "captures the different realities Black people face in America."[6]
