Background

although he said West and his group 'were really cool' - You can cut this since his opinion on the group already comes across with the text before it.
whom he described as 'amazing artists' - I would cut the last quote since it isn't too relevant to this specific song. I try to watch using this kind of text too much since it can sound POV.
attributing this to West's great ear for talent in the variety of musicians and artists - I would the last quote here, too. I think the important point is delivered with the first part alone

Composition and lyrics

Musically, 'God Is' is a gospel song - per the Variety source you could add something like ", one of the more traditional on Jesus Is King".
West sings in a hoarse voice - it would be more accurate to the source to change this to "increasingly hoarse voice".
Otherwise very good!

Release and reception

I would add "(pictured)" after James Cleveland on the image caption
"Black-and-white" has a typo in the alt text
while also praising the cinematics - I would change this to "cinematic elements" since it might be sligthly unclear
Aidy James Stevens felt moved by the song from his position of atheism - I think changing to "despite his position of atheism" would better reflect what Stevens is trying to say

Charts

France peak is 137 according to the source
US Gospel Songs peak should be 4
Year-end charts should have subscription-only indication. I'll assume good faith since I can't check myself; do double-check they are correct, though

Lead and infobox

Add an audio module to the infobox like I did at the Waves article. I would recommend the YouTube upload
Rapper would feel more accurate than vocalist, but its vocalist on the GA Water (Kanye West song) so I'll leave it to you
"number six on both the Christian Songs and Gospel Songs charts" - Gospel peak was 4

Conclusion

This was a short review; the article is very good! I'm a fan of the composition and lyrics, its very concise which tends to be a fun bonus of smaller non-single songs like this. All issues should be relatively easy to fix. IanTEB (talk) 17:50, 16 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

IanTEB Thank you for this review, all has been completed now and I kept vocalist for consistency with the articles since this is a gospel album, not his traditional rap genre. --K. Peake 08:08, 17 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I did a little copyedit but I'm happy to pass this! IanTEB (talk) 09:54, 17 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
