"151 Rum" is a song by American rapper JID, released on September 19, 2018 as the lead single from his second studio album, DiCaprio 2 . [1] [2] [3] It was produced by Nice Rec and Christo. [4]
Kevin Goddard of HotNewHipHop called the song a "lyrical onslaught". [4]
Charles Holmes of Rolling Stone said "J.I.D.'s flow is the crowning achievement of '151 Rum'. Nimble, sparse and blunt, every word serves the song's plot. It's hard to make a chorus that contains a tongue twister like, '151 rum and a blunt, young nigga numb, numb, numb and he got a little gun / A little bitty killer really doin' it for fun, give him a little bit and he'll get a nigga done' work musically and technically. But the rapid flow, haunting chants and J.I.D's bars transform the song into the audio equivalent of running for one's life". [1]
The music video for "151 Rum" premiered on May 1, 2019. It was directed by Scott Lazer, and features a cameo from his producer DJ Christo. In the video's plot, J.I.D is kidnapped and forced to perform. Complex called the video "dark and intense". [5] [6]
