Following a banner year marked by critical acclaim and career milestones, GRAMMY®-nominated rapper J.I.D announces a highly anticipated hometown performance at the Coca-Cola Roxy in Atlanta on December 19th as part of his global “God Does Like World Tour.” Currently in motion across the country, the “God Does Like World Tour” recently paused for a historic moment as J.I.D took the stage alongside Big Boi to honor Outkast’s induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, before resuming with his next show tonight at the PNE Forum in Vancouver, Canada.

The announcement arrives amid two GRAMMY® nominations — including Best Rap Album for his celebrated project God Does Like Ugly and Best Melodic Rap Performance for “Wholeheartedly” featuring Ty Dolla $ign and 6lack.
Critics have hailed God Does Like Ugly as a landmark in contemporary rap — an album that expands the sonic and emotional boundaries of the genre while reaffirming J.I.D’s reputation as one of hip-hop’s most innovative storytellers.
The fifteen track album features some of music’s biggest luminaries including Clipse, Ciara, Don Toliver, Ty Dolla $ign, Vince Staples, Westside Gunn, 6lack, Jessie Reyez, Earthgang, Mereba, and Baby Kia. Music critics and fans have been praising the album as one of the year’s best rap albums and J.I.D as “one of rap’s most reliable presences” (Wonderland).
