Ugly God, born Royce Rodriguez on September 19, 1996, is an American rapper and producer known for his offbeat and whimsical approach to hip-hop. He first gained substantial internet fame with his 2016 single "Water," which went viral and garnered a significant following on platforms such as SoundCloud. This success eventually led to his inclusion in the 2017 XXL Freshman class, a pivotal moment that signified his rising influence in the rap scene.

His music is often self-produced, characterized by its playful and irreverent style, with lyricism frequently embracing humor and parody. His debut mixtape, "The Booty Tape," dropped in 2017, followed by his first official studio album, "Bumps & Bruises," in 2019. The album showcased his growth as an artist and included a deluxe version with additional tracks. Ugly God's willingness to experiment and poke fun at hip-hop norms, as seen in releases like "Confident" and "UglyGoblin," keeps his work fresh and maintains his position as a unique voice in the genre. His collaborations, like "Hello" with Lil Pump and "Imma Dog" with PnB Rock, illustrate his adeptness at aligning with other artists while staying true to his quirky artistic vision.
