JID's 'God Does Like Ugly' Is a Polished Patchwork
Summary One of the most eyed albums across the entirety of the vast hip hop ether,JID's fourth studio album,God Does Like Ugly,is here. Arriving about three years afterThe Forever Story,the 15-track album is a profoundly penned tale, piecing together a plethora of genres, guest verses and appearances, and raw anecdotes to create a truly boundless sonic story. A-list collaborators are ubiquitous, kicking off from the jump withWestside Gunnon 'YouUgly,' a two-part track that sees each rapper take the stage solo for about two minutes. Single 'WRK' falls at track 3, which builds on the predecessor 'Glory''s themes of reaping the benefits of hard work. Clipsesteps in for 'Community,' with JID handling 'Gz,' track five, – another highlight – fully solo almost to just remind us that he can. The streak of features picks back up, withVince Stapleshopping on 'VCR,' and, what seems to be the fan-favorite at the moment,CiaraandEARTHGANGsplitting up 'Sk8.'Don Toliverdelivers on 'What We On,' a slower, softer offering, followed up byTy Dolla $ignand6LACK, elevating the ethereal 'Wholeheartedly.'Jessie Reyez, Baby Kia,Mereba, and Pastor Troy contribute to 'No Boo,' 'On McAfee,' 'Of Blue,' and 'K-Word,' respectively. Intentional interludes carefully splice the selection of sleekly produced tracks, with the rapper's pastor and someone on his team both appearing on 'Glory.' 1. YouUgly (with Westside Gunn)2. Glory3.

Metro Boomin Blames Social Media for Music Not Being Regional Anymore: ‘Let's Get Back to Actual Culture'
Metro Boomin is trying to bring the feeling back. The St. Louis producer, who made his name in Atlanta, dropped his mixtape A Futuristic Summa where he bridged the gap between the Atlanta rap scene of the early to mid-2000s and the new generation. The tape features stellar appearances from more veteran acts like Young Dro and Waka Flaka Flame, while also showcasing newcomers like BunnaB. More from Billboard Metro Boomin Presents: 'A Futuristic Summa': All 23 Tracks Ranked Australian Rockers The Angels Honored With Laneway & Mural in Hometown Lady Gaga's 'Wednesday' Role Will Also Include a Spooky New Song for Season 2 Metro took to X and essentially released the project's mission statement in a series of tweets. He started things off by posting a video of a digital billboard and said he put together the tape 'for us not them.' He then went on to post things like: 'A lot of y'all get no bi—es and it shows.' 'If yo homeboy never had to hold you up in the teen party while u was getting twerked on then you might wanna sit this one out.' 'If you never went out and competed with ya boys on who would get the most numbers then you might wanna sit this one out.' 'If you never had to write a number down period then you might wanna sit this one out.' 'If you started listening to rap music in 2017 then you might wanna sit this one out.' 'If you never intentionally wore your clothes with the tags still on then you might wanna sit this one out.' He then ended his series of tweets by saying rap music needs to embrace and lean into regionality more often. 'Its time for music to get back regional,' he tweeted. 'Social media got everybody tryna do the same thing. Let's get back to actual culture and regional identity.' He later added, 'This is Avengers: Endgame level for the city. An Atlanta love letter,' when a fan commended him for thinking of putting the roster of artists involved together. Metro Boomin Presents: A Futuristic Summa features guest appearances by J Money, Travis Porter, Young Dro, Gucci Mane, Roscoe Dash, Quavo, Breskii, YK NIECE, Skooly, Shad Da God, Meany, Imcfli, BunnaB, Jose Guapo, Rocko, 2 Chainz, Yung Booke, Lil Baby, 21 Savage, Future and Yung L.A., and is hosted by DJ Spinz.
