JID - God Does Like Ugly (2025)


The album is JID’s most sonically daring work yet, balancing sharp lyricism with spiritual introspection rooted in his Southern upbringing. Its opener “YouUgly” crashes in with glitchy, industrial percussion and rapid-fire flow, setting a dark, immersive tone. Mid-album tracks like “Glory” and “WRK” intertwine gospel-tinged hymns and horror-electro beats, showcasing his genre-bending versatility. Later shifts toward more pop-leaning grooves—especially on “Sk8” featuring Ciara and EarthGang—highlight both his ambition and a few divisive stylistic detours. Overall, it's a richly textured, ambitious record: restless, reflective, sometimes uneven, but always compelling.




Genre: Southern Hip Hop
Country: US

Final Verdict: 62% (Good Album)

Oddleaf’s debut album, Where Ideal and Denial Collide , is a fresh entry in progressive rock, combining lush, symphonic elements with retro influences from bands like Camel and Renaissance. The album, produced and recorded with exceptional attention to sonic detail, explores themes of environmentalism and human disconnection from nature, creating a rich narrative across its six tracks. Musically, the album mixes haunting flute lines, Mellotron textures, and dynamic shifts between electric and acoustic instrumentation, with standout vocals from Adeline Gurtner that are both emotive and ethereal. Tracks like “Life” and “Back in Time” balance infectious, vintage-inspired melodies with introspective lyrics, giving the album a timeless yet urgent feel.
