Atlanta, Georgia emcee and producer Tha God Fahim is shaking things up with his 67th EP. 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. Dump Gawd: Hyperbolic Time Chamber Rap 19 Halloween is technically his most recent solo effort before Slam Dump, starting a new series instead of making Lethal Weapon 5.
“Happily Ever After” skips over a chipmunk soul instrumental, talking about how there’s no happy ending when he closes a chapter, while “All Buckets” loops another sample throughout the clip until he hears a click. Jay NiCE’s title track is a soulful take on rapping about things that are easier than breathing, and before “Clean ‘Em Up,” Jay NiCE won the title without guidance.
Jay Nice makes his third and final appearance on International Champions to talk about making sure your “gold” doesn’t turn to copper in reality, while “First Strike” continues the saga with some of the craziest rhyme schemes on the show. “Professional Hits” incorporates more samples talking about his words that represent ease, while “Noble Lineage” ends with a soulful coda explaining that trials are part of the process.
Regardless of how long it’s until Dump Gawd: Hyperbolic Time Chamber Rap 21, or whether it’s another collaboration with Jay NiCE, I have to thank Tha God Fahim for a 180° performance, although I wouldn’t be surprised if Lethal Weapon 5 happens within the next year. Drega33’s production ranks among the best as he and FlyG prepared for the MENBLVCK sequel in less than a few weeks, and the lyrics stay true to Hyperbolic Time Chamber Rap 19 standards.
Score: 8/10
