Then, it’s being at peace with yourself and comfortable with the known unknown.”[11] In March 2020, JID rented the Spillage Village studio house in Atlanta to record his third solo album, with members of the group expected make appearances.
He continued to write that the album sounds like "what you might imagine happens when seven distinct voices share a space and lean on one another to process the events of an uncertain world.
"[4] Aaron Williams of Uproxx said the album "draws from across Americana, especially Black traditions like jazz and gospel, fusing them with folksy banjo and out-of-tune pianos to suggest simpler times and echo the sentimental rhapsodizing of the group's members."
Even at an uncommonly high level of social commentary, intricate production, and risk-taking songwriting choices, the songs remain warm, listenable, and communicative.
"[19] Writing for Pitchfork, Pete Tosiello said the style is "reminiscent of Goodie Mob, OutKast, and blues" saying, "Spillage Village seems to understand what makes Dungeon Family transcendent, that their essence can't be condensed to a vibe."
He continued to write "Spilligion is a polished record full of rumbling basslines, posse cuts, and gospel interludes, with songs assuming loose themes of love, faith, family, and weed.
