The first highlight is the introduction titled “Spill Vill,” which is composed of argumentative banter in a satirical sense and discusses church and the motives of God, alluding to the general theme of the album. The album as a whole is quite literally art, but there are a few standout songs-my absolute favorites-that I feel highlight the necessary points the artists are conveying. The album tells this story-the world’s story and ours, too-throughout its twelve songs.
Clearly, it is very impactful regarding the difficulty the world has faced this past year. The meaning behind Spilligion incorporates multiple religious themes and alludes to the Black Lives Matter protests as well as the COVID-19 pandemic. So upon finding this album, I knew that it would be enrapturing with the flow of talents and intense purpose. Their rhythms and tones provide very meaningful songs that always pack a punch. I have never heard of Spillage Village before, but with all artists collaborating collectively, I have noticed their highly abstract approaches and creativity in their music. Ever since the beginning stages of quarantine last year, I have been a dedicated common listener of both JID and Earthgang separately, and I have found that they have accelerated my understanding, respect, and appreciation for this culture. This album was written and produced by Spillage Village-a hip-hop collective-JID, and Earthgang along with contributions from many other artists. With doses of soul, gospel, and hip-hop, the album Spilligion perfectly encapsulates the culture of Black people in the U.S.
