This is the 60th EP from Atlanta, Georgia emcee/producer Tha God Fahim. Starting as an affiliate of Griselda Records as well as being 1/3 of the Dump Gawds alongside Mach-Hommy & Your Old Droog, we also can’t ignore the massive discography that he’s managed to build for himself, some of the standouts include Breaking Through tha Van Allen Belts & Dump Assassins. But dude has been on a CRAZY run since 2023 with the standouts being the Camoflauge Monk-produced Dark Shogunn Assassin, the Nature Sounds-backed Iron Bull & the Nicholas Craven-produced Dump Gawd: Shot Clock King series, the Oh No-produced Berserko, the Mike Shabb-produced Dump Gawd: Rhyme Pays, Tha Supreme Hoarder of All Pristine Wealth, Supreme Dump Legend: Soul Cook Saga produced by Cookin’ Soul & Machine Gun Vocabulary produced by Cartune Beatz. He & Jay NiCE linked for their 2nd collab EP Dump Gawd: Hyperbolic Time Chamber Rap 12 last weekend & Drega33’s back to produce Lethal Weapon 3.
“Against the Grain” was a piano-driven boom bap intro talking about contrasting the natural inclination to slay wack rappers by the boatload whereas the soulful “Caught My Eye” became an unexpected yet welcoming turn of things getting in his sensual bag lyrically. “Free Speech” embraces a heavily jazzier sound showing gratitude he’s still alive by the ocean side while “Carnage” gets back on the chipmunk soul tip telling us how he lives.
The song “DNA” gets the ball rollin’ on the final 10 minutes of Lethal Weapon 3 fusing chipmunk soul & jazz rap into 1 talking about being supernatural while “Foot the Bill” talks about watching these chumps squeal in their own blood. “Each Passing Day” heads for a chipmunk soul direction once again suggesting opposites detaching as much as they attract & the crooning outro “Championship Status” talks about the proper steps it takes to become a champion.
Compared to both its predecessor, the trilogy chapter in the Lethal Weapon saga preludes Dump Gawd: Hyperbolic Time Chamber Rap 13with the most detailed entry of the series. Drega33’s production is more jazzier than Lethal Weapon 2, harking back to the original Lethal Weapon except he’s meshing it with chipmunk soul to backdrop a deadlier Fahim.
Score: 8/10
