Summary

  • Following up his “30” and “31” freestyles, JID has dropped off his latest free-flowing endeavor, “32,” over an instrumental of Playboi Carti’s “HBA”
  • The freestyle dropped alongside news of JID’s GDLU Preluxe mixtape – the prelude to his forthcoming album God Does Like Ugly – is set to drop everywhere this Friday, July 4

JID is back with big news and new music. Continuing his infamous series of freestyles – first dropping off “30” in January of 2024 and then “31” back in October – the Dreamville rapper has delivered on “32.”

The high-octane cut hears the rapper run circles around any preconceived notions of him over the beat from Playboi Carti‘s “HBA.” “They be killin’ me, sayin’ they killin’ me / Only leadin’ by a couple of kilometers / I’m just here to compete for infinity / Interscope hit your boy with a twenty-piece,” he spits early on.

As for the visual, JID reminds us of his Division 1 athlete days, compiling footage of his high school football games as the official visualizer montage.

Most importantly, however, is that “32” ushers in the release of JID’s new project, confirmed to drop this Friday: GDLU Preluxe. Presumed to be a lead-up to his August album God Does Like Ugly, the mixtape’s tracklist has not yet been revealed.

GDLU Preluxe drops everywhere this Friday, July 4, while the studio album God Does Like Ugly is slated to release in full on August 8.
