Dreamville rapper, J.I.D released his DiCaprio 2 album which is getting a lot of love from the fans. The artist curated his own Catch Me If You Can tour, which shows love to the classic Leonardo DiCaprio movie by Steven Spielberg. He recently took to Twitter to announce the change of his album cover due to not owning the rights to the image of the Leo look-alike who appears on the cover. This most likely affected his album sales. Although it is a setback, he continues to push by dropping a video for “Off Deez” featuring J. Cole. The video is directed by Cole Bennett and gives us a mix of live action and animation while the Dreamville emcees destroy the track.
