Remember when I said a few weeks ago that Tha God Fahim and one of the best producers of this decade, Nicholas Craven, had completed the Hyperbolic Time Chamber Rap trilogy? They’re picking up where they left off on Fahim’s 50th EP. Starting out as an affiliate of Griselda Records and becoming 1/3 of the Dump Gawds along with Mach-Hommy & Your Old Droog, we can’t ignore the vast amount of records he has made for himself, some of his standouts include Breaking Through the Van Allen Belt and Dumping Assassins. But this guy has been on a wild run since 2023, the standouts being Camoflauge Monk’s Dark Shogunn Assassin, Nature Sounds-backed Iron Bull and Nicholas Craven’s Dump Gawd: Shot Clock King Series, Oh No’s Berserko , Dump Gawd: Rhyme Pays (produced by Mike Shabb), Tha Supreme Hoarder of All Pristine Wealth, Supreme Dump Legend: Soul Cook Saga (produced by Cookin’ Soul), and Machine Gun Vocabulary (produced by Cartune Beatz). A few months ago we received the second and third issues of The Myth of Never Giving Up. The Dump Gawd: Hyperbolic Time Chamber Rap saga continued with its own second and third installments, however, Dump Gawd: Hyperbolic Time Chamber Rap 4 is now with us.
“GFY” is a sample-driven opener that shows he’s created some style in the underground with a resume well worth checking out, while the soulful “Got Game” reminds everyone that it’s all about what you bring to the table. “I Don’t Care” connects strings of words so he can call himself rap’s ultimate boss, while the elegant “Muscle Mass” is about seeing people undergo radical transformation.
The song “Plot Armor” takes the other half of the EP down a soulful flourish route, using the instrumentation to compare itself to a metric ton versus a gram, while “Questions & Answers” keeps the kick and snare witty to talk about. His huge gestures sampled soul music again. “Righteous Skills” concludes Dump Gawd: Hyperbolic Time Chamber Rap 4 with a jazzier sound that has turned negative into positive many times throughout his career.
The original Hyperbolic Time Chamber Rap trilogy was considered by many to be middling, but it continued its legacy, finishing strong in 2024 and getting even stronger in 2025 due to its overall sound compared to its predecessors. Even better. Nicholas Craven’s 17-minute, sample-inspired composition ranges from booming beats to drumless chipmunk soul and jazz-rap.
Rating: 9/10
