The Never Story is J.I.D’s debut studio album, arriving less than three weeks after his signing to J. Cole’s Dreamville Records. The 12-track album boasts features from 6LACK, EARTHGANG, and Mereba. J. Cole himself produced two tracks on the project: “D/vision” and “LAUDER.”
The album was fueled by the success of the underground hit “NEVER,” which was first released on February 10, 2016.
“The Never Story” Q&A

What has J.I.D said about the album’s songs?
J.I.D spoke on the songs he’s most proud of in his May 2017 interview with Rolling Stone:
“LAUDER” is a favorite because the name of the song is a friend of mine who passed away. Everybody’s like, ‘I love “LAUDER,”’ and don’t know what shit means, though I just told them now. I was just trying to spill my guts, and I think people received it that way. Initially, I wanted to be a writer for other people. “Hereditary,” I was writing it from a woman’s perspective. I was thinking Rihanna could kill a part, or maybe Kehlani or SZA. SZA was in the same studio that night I created “Hereditary,” because I did that in L.A. Everything else was done in Atlanta.
