Review

JID returns with God Does Like Ugly, a messy, bold declaration that the Atlanta rapper isn’t just back—he’s evolved. On his fourth studio album, JID leans into cinematic ambition, lyrical finesse, and sonic expansiveness, threading together themes of survival, self-worth, and the awkward, glorious act of being seen.

Sonically, the album pulses with contrast: raw trap grit and lush melodic undertones, frenetic flows and moments of quiet introspection. Tracks like “YouUgly” (with Westside Gunn) and “WRK” carry swagger and tension, while “Of Blue” and “Wholeheartedly” show off JID’s ability to slow down and let emotion breathe. Guest appearances from Clipse, Ciara, Vince Staples and more add texture without overshadowing JID’s core voice—he remains the central architect, weaving stories with precision and heart.

That said, God Does Like Ugly isn’t flawless. Some sections feel sprawling, the ambition occasionally overtaking cohesion. As one critic put it: “moments of brilliance fail to gel.” Still, there’s undeniable power here—a rapper stepping into broader territory while holding onto what made him distinctive. For listeners ready for depth, dexterity, and daring, this album delivers. - Dante
