JID recently opened up about a defining moment early in his career: being in the studio with Mac Miller<\/a> as the late rapper created his 2018 masterpiece Swimming<\/a>. In a conversation on Real Late with Peter Rosenberg<\/a>, the Dreamville lyricist reflected on the sessions that left a lasting mark on him both personally and artistically.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was in his studio. I was in the studio when he was working on that album. The Swimming album,\u201d JID recalled. \u201cI probably came to like two different sessions, but I saw like a few songs being made.\u201d He explained that he even ended up contributing, clarifying: \u201cI was on the song, \u2018Take Care.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

But beyond the collaboration, what stayed with JID was the raw emotion Mac poured into his music. He remembered one particular record that shook him deeply. Quoting Mac\u2019s words, \u201cMy regrets look just like texts I shouldn\u2019t have sent.\u201d<\/p>\n

JID described watching him perform the track as almost overwhelming. \u201cI was in there the whole time\u2026 he\u2019s just in there singing his heart out, bro. It was beautiful,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

JID Watched Mac Miller Make Swimming<\/p>\n

The scene was as hazy as it was profound. \u201cI\u2019m in the white business this time. We just in there, and he\u2019s just in there singing his heart out,\u201d JID told Rosenberg. For him, the moment felt surreal. \u201cI felt like I was in a spaceship. Like, it was the craziest moment, one of my craziest moments in my career that I\u2019ll never forget.\u201d<\/p>\n

After Mac\u2019s death<\/a> in 2018, JID made sure to honor his late friend by incorporating the track into his own live shows. He would pause mid-performance to play the record, telling fans, \u201cYo, I just want to play this for y\u2019all. Like, I was in there when this song was being made.\u201d<\/p>\n

JID\u2019s recollection underscores the profound impact Mac Miller had on those around him. More than a studio memory, it was a lesson in vulnerability and artistry that continues to influence JID\u2019s journey today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"JID recently opened up about a defining moment early in his career: being in the studio with Mac…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":167478,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[53],"tags":[100838,88,51625,79583,216,3,100839,42038],"class_list":["post-167477","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-music","tag-come-back-to-earth","tag-entertainment","tag-jid","tag-mac-miller","tag-music","tag-news","tag-peter-rosenberg","tag-swimming"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/167477","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=167477"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/167477\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/167478"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=167477"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=167477"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=167477"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
