    DiCaprio 2 exemplifies what the ideal student of the game sounds like--someone who's conscious of how a hook presents itself, how to control their delivery and how to diversify their lyrical bonds.

    DiCaprio 2 surpasses everything the rapper offered before it, with his strengths in full focus at a level that can't help but remind of the career peaks of greats that came before him.

    The 14-track album keeps all the commended technical framework of The Never Story but elevates the delivery and songwriting to a point where he sounds completely like his own man with his own plan.

    His songs are about joy and hunger and reflection and fun. Not one of them feels as if it’s trying to save hip-hop.

    Once the starpower dazzle fades, it’s not always obvious who he is, but the lack of easy answers makes him interesting enough for now.

    Every inflection, every word, even nearly every concept feels lifted from rap’s reigning King’s playbook. It’s a haphazard mixture of TDE’s figurehead circa Section.80, with a big heap of Good Kid and a smattering of To Pimp a Butterfly, just for good measure. ... DiCaprio 2 is a heavy helping of technicality, signifying absolutely nothing.

    A well made album that shows JID's lyrical prowess and his talent certainly shines through on most of the tracks

    Even though Dreamville's JID was placed in likely the least lyrical XXL Freshman class of all time, he stood out miles ahead of his peers. IEven though Dreamville's JID was placed in likely the least lyrical XXL Freshman class of all time, he stood out miles ahead of his peers. I was introduced to JID, like many, through his frantic collaboration with label head J. Cole, during which JID forced Cole into one of the fastest-moving lyrical footraces I can remember. No, wait, I was actually introduced to JID through his phenomenal guest verse on Denzel Curry's Sirens, the type of verse to make a rapper go back to the drawing board and think of something new - and Denzel said JID was the only one throughout all the TA13OO sessions to make him do so. So going into this album with only Sirens, Off Deez, and 151 Rum behind me, I had high expectations - and Destin Route smashed every single **** one of them. The only complaint I have is that it is billed as a Gangsta Grillz mixtape, but it's actually a full length album - and even that's not a bad thing.… Expand

After an amazing song suchJ.I.D dropped the album DiCaprio 2 after releasing the main single, his collab with label head J. Cole, Off Deez. After an amazing song such as Off Deez, the expectations for the album was set sky high. Showcasing his lyrical and technical skill, he didn't only answer to these expectations, but also blew most competing rappers out of the waters. J.I.D is no stranger to playing with words and rhythms, something he beautifully showcase on this album. With a. variety of different moods delivered through the album, such as the playful yet serious song 151 Rum or the more down to earth and moody Workin Out, he truly shows why many considers him as the head of the newer hip-hop generation. Overall a solid album, and I'm sure we're all excited to what he can deliver in the future.… Expand

    Segundo álbum de JID, el más trapero, muy buenos cambios de beat y con su voz consigue un sonido muy único y original.
