It’s no surprise that Tha God Fahim, the host and producer of his 66th EP from Atlanta, Georgia, is coming in time for Halloween. Starting out as an affiliate of Griselda Records and becoming 1/3 of the Dump Gawds alongside Mach-Hommy and Your Old Droog, we also can’t overlook the vast number of records he has made for himself, some of which stand out include Breaking Through tha Van Allen Belts and Dump Assassins. Over the past few years, he has been putting out some of his best work, such as Dark Shogunn Assassin by Camoflauge Monk, Iron Bull by Nature Sounds and Nicholas Craven’s Dump Gawd: Shot Clock King series, Berserko by Oh No, Dump Gawd: Rhyme Pays by Mike Shabb, Tha Supreme Hoarder of All Pristine Wealth, Supreme Dump Legend: Soul Cook Saga is produced by Cookin’ Soul and Machine Gun Vocabulary is produced by Cartune Beatz. Produced by Drega33, “Lethal Weapon 4” is the last time we’ll hear Fahim’s work solo, making “Dump Gawd: Hyperbolic Time Chamber Rap 19” his first solo effort since the Season 2 premiere.
Jay NiCE’s “Not Ez” warns that going against them will only backfire on the Chipmunk Soul instrumental, while Jay NiCE’s “Take the High Road” also plays on some piano, talking about becoming the new rulers of the game. “Grimsong,” featuring Jay NiCE, references WWE Hall of Famer Mike Tyson’s coke addiction before “Enchanted,” setting the tone for the rest of the EP and talking about immature style that’s not a small part of his strength.
The song “Hexproof” approaches the conclusion to Dump Gawd: Hyperbolic Time Chamber Rap 19, warning against losing sight of the actual battles uncovered when dissecting the track, while “Mill 2” speaks fondly of the ongoing saga, which, as far as he’s concerned, is just the tip of the iceberg. “How Does It Feel?” uses some sampling techniques for the last time to complete the EP, hoping to leave a lasting impression every time they take the stage.
Jay NiCE’s appearance around the first half of Dump Gawd: Hyperbolic Time Chamber Rap 19 isn’t too surprising, but I can definitely say that this is one of my favorites since the second season began 4 weeks ago. This work is noticeably more drumless than Tha God Fahim’s last few extended plays with Immobilaire’s NiCEst, making the booming bap a secondary influence and becoming more lyrically abstract.
Score: 7/10
