Atlanta rapper JID teamed up with Ciara and EarthGang for his new track “Sk8.” The music video was filmed in Atlanta.

“Sk8” is the 7th track off JID’s album, God Does Like Ugly. JID, Ciara and EarthGang pay homage to iconic skating rinks in the Atlanta area.

Ciara sings:

“You ain’t never been to Skatetowne on Old National
You know it go down
You ain’t never been to Cascade
On the west side of MLK
You ain’t never been to Golden Glide (it’s in the Dec’)
You ain’t never been to Sparkles, glidin’ with your bae
I ain’t never been to Skate Zone ’cause it’s out in Morrow
I’ma pack a car load, I’ma take the girls and me tomorrow.”

“SK8” is JID’s second mainstream hit song. His 2021 single, “Enemy” (with Imagine Dragons) peaked at number 5 on the Billboard Hot 100.

The 34-year-old rapper and singer signed with J. Cole’s Dreamville Records in 2017. He formed the collective Spillage Village with EarthGang in 2010.
