Ugly God is playing tonight in San Francisco at Social Hall. Ugly God’s breakthrough viral hit “Water” – which was written, produced, and mixed by Ugly God himself – has garnered more than 150 million streams and has landed in Billboard’s Hot 100. As the first signing to the newly relaunched Asylum Records (Warner Music Group), the eccentric rap sensation is gearing up for a massive 2017, which includes the release of his highly anticipated debut project, The Booty Tape.
Here’s what other outlets have to say about him:
SPIN – “Houston’s 20-year-old Ugly God is the most genuinely weird artist. He’s like an evil Lil Yachty. Ugly God is an ace at writing hooks and has a genuinely funny personality. He’s impossible to hate.”
Talib Kweli – “Older artists need to learn from artists like Ugly God.”
XXL – “The Internet’s newest rising talent…”
HotNewHipHop – “This maniacal Houston rapper is paving the way for visually stifling people everywhere.”
Pigeons and Planes – “The internet’s most loved rapper.”
If this rap shit doesn’t work out for me, I’m going back to being a prostitute.
