JID Gears Up for ‘God Does Like Ugly’ With ‘GDLU (Preluxe)’

Summary

• After unveiling “32 (Freestyle)” during the week, JID dropped off the precursor project to God Does Like Ugly, a mixtape dubbed GDLU (Preluxe)
• The four-track EP comes with features from Eminem, Lil Yachty and 6LACK

JID is just heating up. With his fourth studio album due out in just over a month now, God Does Like Ugly, the artfully penned Atlanta rapper is revving us up for the anticipated release with a proper prelude to the project, or what he’s calling a “Preluxe.”

The Dreamville rapper has packaged four tracks that didn’t end up making the final God Does Like Ugly tracklist into a straight-to-the-point EP dubbed the GDLU (Preluxe). Now, while JID did drop his “32 (Freestyle)” earlier in the week (the same day he announced the surprise July 4 release of Preluxe), the rapper’s latest freestyle installment isn’t one of the four new tracks. “Behold” opens the mixtape as the only solo track, followed by features with Lil Yachty, 6LACK and Eminem.

If the throwaway project includes an Eminem feature, there’s no telling what JID has in store on the proper GDLU release next month. Possibly an “Animals (Pt. 2)?”

1. Behold
2. Knew Better (with Lil Yachty)
3. Lisa (with 6LACK)
4. Animals (Pt. 1) (with Eminem)

Stream GDLU (Preluxe) – out everywhere now, and expect God Does Like Ugly to drop everywhere on Friday, August 8.
