1. What’s the meaning behind your name?
My name came from a nickname my grandmother called me when I was a baby, Jittery or Jiddery, I just shortened it to J.I.D, the acronym is whatever I chose it to be at that moment.


2. What other names have you had?
I haven’t had any other rap names, I chose that name because it’s always been a part of me.


3. Which song of yours would you first want people to hear?
‘Never’.


4. Who was your hip hop idol growing up?

Any East African country. Everything that comes from that region is beautiful.
