UPDATE: JID and Anycia have just released the urgent music video for their track “Sun,” a standout from JID’s latest album, God Does Like Ugly. The video presents a somber yet captivating ghetto fairy tale that is already making waves across social media.
Opening with a reminiscent nod to The Princess Bride, the video features a mother reading to her children, only to be met with surprise as they request a story that unveils the real streets of Atlanta—the very neighborhoods where JID and Anycia grew up. This powerful imagery sets the stage for a gripping narrative that resonates with viewers today.
The chemistry between JID and Anycia is palpable. JID’s energetic, hyperactive delivery perfectly contrasts with Anycia’s laid-back flow, creating a dynamic that draws listeners in. Their performance rides the slinky beat produced by Christo, Childish Major, and Jetsonmade, showcasing JID’s versatility and lyrical prowess.
Alongside other standout tracks from God Does Like Ugly, including collaborations with Clipse and Ciara, “Sun” is positioning the album as a potential frontrunner for one of the best rap albums of 2025.
In addition to this release, JID is making headlines as he prepares to perform at Outkast’s induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. His current North American tour, God Does Like World Tours, will continue until December 15 in New York, before he heads to Europe and Australia for spring dates.
Fans are encouraged to watch JID’s “Sun” video featuring Anycia now, as it is quickly becoming a cultural touchstone. God Does Like Ugly is available now through Dreamville/Interscope. For more details, check out the full album and its impact on the rap scene.
