JID cements his legacy with bold, star-studded new album 'God Does Like Ugly'

JID returns with 'God Does Like Ugly', a sprawling 15-track body of work that pushes the boundaries of modern rap while staying deeply rooted in the lyrical finesse that’s made him one of Atlanta’s most respected voices. Three years on from his critically acclaimed 'The Forever Story', the 3x GRAMMY-nominated artist offers up his most character-driven, sonically adventurous project to date.

The album features a heavyweight guest list that includes Clipse, Vince Staples, Westside Gunn, Don Toliver, Ciara, 6lack, Jessie Reyez, and EarthGang, each one adding new layers to the project’s rich, genre-blurring sound. But it’s JID’s presence, sharp, soulful, and endlessly inventive, that ties it all together. Whether weaving dense rhyme schemes or experimenting with melodic textures, he showcases a masterful range across the project.

What sets 'God Does Like Ugly' apart is not just its lyrical intensity, but its sheer vibrance. JID leans into eccentric production, unexpected vocal cadences, and ambitious sequencing, transforming the album into a bold statement of identity and intent.
