Man, for me this is a trip and a half. It feels like a full circle! Why? Because the intro of the album is called ‘Opening Sermon’ and the first review I ever covered by this man was a gospel track. To see everything come back around is amazing! A year later he sounds stronger and better than ever and with a cast of modern-day icons by his side? He can’t miss. So without further ado this review won’t be written by the serpent tongue instead it will be
IN GOD’S WORDS
This is the brand-new full-length album by MC/Producer God Gotti (with assistance on production from Delaware Chuck) and together they drop a solid 14 tracks, 40 minutes and the likes of
-Miles A
-Flames Dot Malik
-Delaware Chuck
-Mondo Slade
-Miskeen Haleem
-All Hail YT
-Homi Mulaa
-Brother Tom SOS
And with a powerhouse roster this album has no chance of failing.
Now, for me it goes without saying. This is the most complete and mastered album he’s made yet (and that’s saying a lot) the production on this album sounds like it was made in a million-dollar studio. When I first heard this over my jaw was dropped at the level up God did! I’ve heard him grow across 2025 and to see how far he’s come in such a short time is scary and this is no more proof than on these 14 tracks!
Every track feels pure, it feels elegant and cinematic. Instead of a collection of tracks it sounds like a theatrical score woven with the utmost fluency that connects the first track to the last.
I can’t stress enough, every instrumental is crisp in its execution. There’s a level of technique and care that’s embedded through the sonic fabric of the songs that can’t be denied. Each song feels like a number one hit! It’s hard for me to choose a favourite song because it all runs like the hardest soundtrack you’ll hear in your life!
BUT
If I had to choose one song that kept standing out to me the more I went back to was the song – Hell In A Cell because bro, what do you mean God Gotti made that ridiculously muddy track and made the perfect chemistry with the badass Flames Dot? That was the PERFECT underground track. No concept or complicated shit, just a rough beat and BARS OVER BARS, no bullshit.
God Gotti, man, he went beyond surprising me on this album. He’s always been a dope MC to me (when I write reviews, I never lie), so of course that was a given, but it’s like he’s evolved to a whole new beat since I last covered him. I should have known something was up after hearing his single ‘SMD’ and how powerful that was! But now that I’ve heard the whole thing together, it’s an absolute masterpiece!
Across the 14 tracks, he’s in bar city. He’s dropping the most tough, larger-than-life, and spatial verses in the game right now. As his intro points out, it’s as if his bars are meant to be preached and taught to the world! They feel way too energetic and charismatic to be dumbed down to a certain demographic!
Every word he speaks into existence has so much conviction and passion behind it. You can tell he’s authentic! Not the type to lie to glaze himself up. Like he says in ‘Testimony’, don’t go bragging about your brothers or cousins’ life, just do you because that’s enough.
And he was also speaking to me because I’ve also never seen 10k in real life either! But hey, at least I’m honest about it!
Also, the fact that he’s always able to create organic chemistry with whoever is on the beat is incredible.
This might sound obvious, but just because you have a feature doesn’t mean it’s gonna sound dope to us, the listener. You need to make sure you have the skill to be able to hold up your end of the chemistry as much as they need to, and thankfully, God is one of those names that can work with anyone and make fire!
Man, to say this blew me away would be the highest understatement of the year! From the production to the bars to the ridiculous features, this has everything going for it and no downsides!
