New Music Recommendations

Just when we thought the Hip Hop AOTY dropped(“Let God Sort Em Out” by Clipse), Atlanta based rapper JID has given us a new contender. “God Does Like Ugly” is an absolute heater front to back, zero fill, all gas. With features from the likes of Vince Staples, Earthgang and Clipse, we the listeners are reminded why new JID material is worth waiting for. Give it a listen right now. FFO: Kendrick Lamar, Joey Bada$$, Denzel Curry, Amine.
