Stars (feat. Yasiin Bey)

“Stars” marks the first collaboration between JID and Yasiin Bey, though both have been fans of each other for a while. In a 2017 interview on HOT97, Yasiin says:

"I’m not sitting here… I’m not listening to all these niggas. Why? I could just listen to already made niggas, the shit that gets better with time, and if some new niggas come through, like my man J.I.D from Dreamville. Fire."

Before the release of the Forever story, JID tweeted;

"The contrast of sampling ms. Fat booty by mos def to actually having Yasiin Bey on the same album is insane to me"

JID sampled Mos Def’s “Ms. Fat Booty” on track six of The Forever Story, Surround Sound.

In “Stars” JID raps about the start of his rap career and trying to “make it as an artist”.
