It’s an entertaining mix of substance and Southern aesthetic that once again brings EARTHGANG’s perspective of Atlanta to the forefront. Olu’s hook eases you into a conversation-like song that feels like the artists casually talking about a wide range of topics, from coming up and chasing one’s dreams to materialism and the dangers of street life.

Cole since the Revenge of the Dreamers III cuts “Down Bad” and “1993” in 2019, “WATERBOYZ” just down-right slaps. Beyond the fact that it marks the first time that EARTHGANG has appeared on a track alongside both JID and J. įollowing that scene-stealing guest verse from Future Hendrixx, EARTHGANG manages to keep their feet on the gas with the Dreamville posse cut “WATERBOYZ,” a head-bobbing song that references Atlanta’s most notorious young hustlers. From the Atlanta legend’s confident opening line “I feel like a God on this Earth, lil' nigga” to the hard-hitting, synth-laden beat switch, the second part of “BILLI” makes for one of the greatest and most memorable moments on GHETTO GODS. Their intensity continues on the light-hearted third track “BILLI,” and while chanting “a billi'” over and over atop Tane Runo, Olu, Carvello, and Ace Harris’ bouncy production is undeniably enjoyable, the WowGr8-led song reaches an entirely different level of excitement once Future takes over.

Following 2 Chainz’s spoken-word intro on “THE GLOW,” EARTHGANG kicks the album into overdrive with the triumphant title track “GHETTO GODS,” and the lush production serves as the perfect sonic backdrop for the duo to passionately sing and rap about both their fond and treacherous memories from growing up in Southwest Atlanta. It’s a heavy record for multiple reasons, but as long as listeners can get past that, they’ll be able to appreciate the Spillage Village founder’s latest offering.įortunately, the first stretch of Ghetto Gods is easy to love. Complete with skits from 2 Chainz and DC Young Fly, Ghetto Gods finds EARTHGANG bringing listeners back to Atlanta once more, yet this time without many of the enthralling oddities that characterized their major-label debut. Cole, JID, Future, Ari Lennox, Musiq Soulchild, Baby Tate, and more. Serving as the first project from Olu and WowGr8 since 2019, Ghetto Gods is the Atlanta duo’s second full-length release on Dreamville Records, and the 17-track album comes laced with features from the likes of J. There’s a lot to digest on EARTHGANG’s new album.Īpproximately a month after the unexpected delay of their long-awaited follow-up to Mirrorland, EARTHGANG has finally returned with their latest studio album, intriguingly titled Ghetto Gods.
