JID is set to release his album 'God Does Like Ugly' on August 8, showcasing his unique approach to music distribution. He is moving away from traditional streaming strategies by introducing 'GDLU Preluxe' on July 4, which features songs that did not make the final album cut. His track 'Beau' exemplifies his technical prowess and emotional depth, even though it won't appear on the full album. This unconventional pre-release approach emphasizes the value of his discarded material, marking a bold statement in hip-hop.
JID's latest track, "Beau," is a masterclass in doing the most with the least. Anchored by skeletal production, the beat strips away all unnecessary layers.
If the tracks shared so far are any indication, God Does Like Ugly may not just be JID's most ambitious work yet, but one of the most compelling hip-hop records of the year.
The decision to release a Preluxe album-essentially a collection of songs that didn't make the final cut-goes against the industry grain.
JID's approach is the opposite: he's putting the spotlight on what didn't make it, suggesting that even his discarded material is worthy of attention.
