Tha God Fahim – “Lethal Weapon 3” review

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. He’s been putting out amongst his best material in the past few years like 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 Vocabularyproduced 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: 4/5

Addison Rae – “Addison” review

Addison Rae is a social media personality, singer, actress & dancer from Lafayette, Louisiana know for temporarily being a member of the Hype House collective of TikTokers for a mere 5 months. Her debut EP AR was welcomed to moderate feedback & caught the attention of Columbia Records, who signed her following an appearance on the remix of “Von Dutch” off Charli XCX’s 6th album brat last summer. Coming off a string of well-received singles however, she’s taking it further on her major label debut.

We get a heavy dosage of dance-pop during the intro “New York” singing about her affinity for the City of Dreams itself whereas “Diet Pepsi” blends contemporary R&B, alt-pop, chillstep, alternative R&B & downtempo for a lead single calling back to Lana Del Rey’s 5th album Lust for Life. “Money’s Everything” takes a complete 360 from what “Diet Pepsi” did asking taking on a more satirical tone while “Aquamarine” combines dance-pop, deep house, garage house & melodic house to sing about her transforming & realigning.

“High Fashion” after the “Lost & Found” interlude fuses alternative R&B, alt-pop, post-dubstep, chillstep, future bass & wonky preferring the luxurious lifestyle over drugs leading into the breezy “Summer Forever” singing about loving Omer Fedi so much that she forgets what’s going on. “In the Rain” kicks the synthesizers into full gear turning her tears into gold until the dance-pop, electropop, synthpop & electro house track “Fame’s a Gun” recaptures the ethos of Sheila E.’s biggest hit “The Glamorous Life”.

The song “Times Like These” uses the sounds of contemporary R&B, downtempo, trip hop, alt-pop, UK street soul & alternative R&B to sing about her life moving faster than herself while “Headphones On” after the “Life’s No Fun Through Clear Waters” interlude finishes off with a trip hop, contemporary R&B, pop, UK street soul, alternative R&B & hip hop soul single sampling “What I Am” by Edie Brickell to touch base regarding situations that cannot be resolved.

Of the 2 full-length albums we have from the Hype House so far, Addison puts Huddy’s debut Teenage Heartbreak to shame by revealing Addison Rae as the most musically talented of the bunch by cooking up a more passionately conceived LP than Alex Warren’s recent singles ahead of his own debut You’ll Be Alright, Kid next month. We get a better understanding of herself with her background as a competitive dancer bleeds all over the production pulling from alt-pop, contemporary R&B, downtempo, dance-pop, alternative R&B, electropop, pop, trip hop, UK street soul, hip hop soul, electro house, synthpop, post-dubstep, chillstep, future bass, wonky, deep house, garage house & melodic house.

Score: 4/5

Beannskii – “Green Bean” review

Here is the 3rd studio LP from Michigan rapper Beannskii. Following his 2023 studio debut Geek Up!, revered Detroit trap trio the ShittyBoyz would catch wind of him & make him a member of their Dog $hit Militia collective signed to Lando Bando’s own The Hip Hop Lab Records putting out his sophomore effort Beanjamin Franklin last Black Friday weekend. Coming off MJPaid & Fordio’s respective full-length debuts Paid Ponzi & Fordi Milligrams, the Green Bean seeks to continue the D$M squad’s run they’ve been on from the start of 2025 taking the plate at 3rd.

The intro begins with a Detroit trap instrumental showing off some occasional bells talking about people runnin’ they mouth on social media & hiding their tails afterwards whereas “Ball Game” incorporates some horns wishing death on anybody who clique up with his team’s opposition. “D$M” works in some pianos & 808s to talk about his crew for a minute & a half while “Wizard of Turkey Bags” favors of hitting targets instead of innocents.

“Barking” hits the grey hound the second he re-ups aiming for the face rather than going with a chest shot just before “All Hail Bean¡” brings a lowend beat from Certified Trapper with creatively chopped sample into the fold except the vocal mixing feels a little off. “Where Would I Be??” relies heavier on the bells telling everyone who be sending death threats to pull up on him leading into “Food Fight” featuring Ftos Twan talking about walking by shooting at y’all if they can’t get a ride.

Meanwhile on “Lost My Marbles”, we have Beann sliding off pucks as if he’s in the middle of a hockey game while “Hamas” talks about being in the bushes for so long that he got mosquito bites. “Tavon Austin” discusses being known for throwing back shots without any duckin’ or dodgin’ & promising you won’t take what’s his, but then “Don Don” talks about letting the stick fire off if they try to box him in on top of trying to get his pill addiction under control.

“Jolly Bean” lets the bells ring once more & sampling “How to Save a Life” by The Fray dumpin’ all the bodies he’s catchin’ in his backyard while “Kankakee” talks about sweeping those running from them off their feet. “Swanton Bombing” finds Beann pulling off the finishing move of the inaugural 4th Rope World Tag Team Champion Jeff Hardy of The Hardy Boyz while “Alone” addresses his habits of treating pills like Tic Tacs.

The orchestral sample on “Let Me Be” speaks of having no fear in him after seeing & going through it all during his lifetime in addition to his pleas for help going ignored while “Poltergeist” talks about spinning the block all day like a fidget. The outro concludes Green Bean with a regalia/Detroit trap crossover boasting that he’s pouring wine into his pop to the point where it turns into Grape Welch.

Beanjamin Franklin found Beannskii elevating himself from his debut the previous year & on Green Bean, it extends the back-to-back run that the Dog $hit Militia members have been on widely introducing & establishing themselves as individuals. Yes I’m aware of this being his 2nd offering since joining the collective however, there wasn’t a whole lot to the guests that I found interesting or much exciting compared to the main performer.

Score: 3.5/5

Beno – “Out on Bond” review

Beno is a 28 year old rapper from Detroit, Michigan known for being 1/2 of the duo Drego & Beno. His partner in rhyme already has a couple solo LPs & 3 EPs under his belt already with the latest EP Krazy Man 2 coming out over a couple months ago. On the other hand, Beno has yet to put out any projects by himself up until this point & felt his debut EP had my wondering how he would sound by himself during an entire project since we’ve heard so many from his counterpart.

“BJ” opens with a flute, some 808s & string sections sticking to the g code whereas “B.T.A. (Beat That Ass)” featuring Lil Mello works in some pianos & 808s referencing WWE Hall of Famer, former 2-time WWE world champion, ECW World Television Champion, 6-time WWE Intercontinental Champion, 5-time WWE Tag Team Champion, 4-time & the final WWE Hardcore Champion, TNA World Champion & TNA X Division Champion Rob Van Dam.

Moving on from there, “Possible” finds himself optimistically feeling like anything’s a possibility over a decent Detroit trap instrumental prior to “Hmm Hmmmm” going for a darker vibe to the beat talking about catching an opp tossing his body in the trunk. “Ouuu Ouuuu” featuring Babytron & produced by Danny G finds the 2 likening themselves to heavyweights in a group of middleweights just before “Ballin’ is a Habit, Not a Crime” explains that the way he balls doesn’t involve illegal activity.

“Dead Wrong” featuring M.I.N.E. Entertainment signee 3200 Tre brings some pianos & 808s back in the fold talking about the only 2 types of people they know being either real or fake while the title track by Drego & Beno telling us what it was like for them growing up selling dope & getting money. “I Got the Urge” ties up any loose ends during the EP refusing to snitch on his squad, remaining the same as he was prior to making it. 

Because of the announcement the previous weekend regarding Drego getting ready to serve a 1-year prison stint, it’s not hard to see why Beno wouldn’t take the opportunity to focus on a solo career until his better half comes home & Out on Bond brings it full circle from when Krazy Man initially dropped several years ago. Production’s better than I had initially anticipated & Beno holds the mic finely by himself with a tight guest list.

Score: 3.5/5

McKinley Dixon – “Magic, Alive!” review

McKinley Dixon is a 29 year old MC & singer from Richmond, Virginia introducing himself in the early mid-2010s off his first couple EPs Nappy Headed & Peter Truman followed by the full-length debut album Who Taught You to Hate Yourself? & The Importance of Self Belief. The spring of 2021 marked his breakthrough in the underground largely due to For My Mama & Anyone Who Look Like Her, which Beloved! Paradise! Jazz!? elevated a couple summers later & his 5th LP hopes to tie up some loose ends of it’s predecessors.

“Watch My Hands” was a brief 106 second drumless intro splittin’ through seasons hopin’ all parts eventually collide whereas “Sugar Water”featuring Quelle Chris heads for a jazz rap/neo soul approach instrumentally offering their souls so they can finally have peace. “Crooked Stick” featuring Ghais Guevara takes a bit of a boom bap direction with the beat flexing their legacies are eternal despite the envious wanting to sabotage until the experimental 2-parter “Recitatif” featuring Teller Bank$ dismisses the notion of being civilians.

The sequel to “Run, Run, Run” works in some pianos & live drumming confident he’ll be celebrated when his squad step back on the street & after “We’re Outside, Rejoice!” turns the jazz rap influences back up again hoisting up the child born under the sun advising they hide all cracks in their voice when yellin’ at the sky, “All the Loved Ones (What Would We Do???)” featuring ICECOLDBISHOP & Pink Siifu is this funky, cloudy hybrid talking about their mamas beating each other’s asses if they don’t stop playin’ with ‘em.

“F.F.O.L. (Fist Full of Light)” featuring Teller Bank$ blends these woodwinds & brass usin’ the generational words of their grandfathers just before “Listen Gentle” takes pennies from his thoughts & turns it into $100K. The title track suggests you get in the whip with him because of his plan to make it so his homies stay immortal & “Could’ve Been Different” featuring Blu finishes with them staring out the window, pray their wings can hold their frame.

Magic, Alive! feels the breathtakingly concluding trilogy chapter that For My Mama & Anyone Who Look Like Her began & Beloved! Paradise! Jazz!?bridged telling the story of 3 kids who lose their best friend & facing the subsequent turmoil. McKinley & his guests’ consciously abstract performances contemplate what constitutes magic in all forms meshing the sounds of jazz rap occasionally influenced by the lo-fi hip hop pioneer & one of my top 10 producers ヌジャベス, neo-soul, urban contemporary gospel, orchestral music, experimental hip hop, industrial hip hop, hardcore hip hop, rap rock, cool jazz, drumless & cloud rap.

Score: 4.5/5

Seth MacFarlane – “Lush Life” review

Seth MacFarlane is a 51 year old actor, animator, writer, producer, director, comedian & singer from Kent, Connecticut notable for being the creator of Family Guy on the Fox Corporation’s flagship property & American Dad! set to move back to the network it premiered on in 2026 after a decade on the Discovery Global-owned tbs. He’s also known for his directional debut ted during the end of my freshman year of high school voicing the titular character & airing a prequel series on the Comcast Corporation subsidiary NBCUniversal owned peacock. Couldn’t forget to mention the 7 vocal jazz albums he has put out under Republic Records & getting to perform lost arrangements for his musical idol in Reprise Records founder Frank Sinatra over the course of his 8th LP.

A rendition of “Give Me the Simple Life” introduced from the film Wake Up & Dream almost 8 decades ago next winter really opens up on the Lush Life from there whereas “I Never Felt This Way Before” waits & ponders where the love of his life is over some delicate string sections. The title track essentially serves as a cover of a jazz standard Billy Strayhorn wrote in the early/mid 1930s prior to “Flying Down to Rio” giving a big band vibe for the theme of a nonagenarian pre-code musical.

“How Did She Look?” feels like a counterpart to a song Joan Merrill made in the 40s asking about the well being of his ex-fiancée that he hasn’t seen in over a year or so after someone he knew ran into her while “Who’s in Your Arms Tonight?” wants to know who’s listening to lies coming out of lips divined over a harmonious choir behind. “A Wonderful Day Like Today” fuses big band & vocal jazz defying any dark clouds to hover on top of him just before “When Joanna Loved Me” covers a composition Tony Bennett popularized.

7 Hills of Rome gets its flowers to start the 3rd & final act of Lush Life with Seth’s own version of “Arrivederci Roma” performed in the 1958 musical leading into “Hurry Home” setting the worrisome tone with some woodwinds & chordophones asking tor his partner to return back as quickly as she can because of him feeling all alone. “Ain’tcha Ever Coming Back?” & “No More Shadows” both tie up the full-length with covers honoring the memories of both Peggy Lee & Erroll Garner respectively.

For a collection of arrangements originally written for Come Fly With Me & Only the Lonely that were left on the cutting room floor, the Fuzzy Door Productions founder gears up for The Naked Gun 4 next month starring the likes of Liam Neeson & the previous WWE Champion Cody Rhodes to name a couple with a vocal jazz album surpassing Music’s Better Than Words at the start of my freshman year of high school. Seth MacFarlane’s warm expressive vocals breathe new life into these carefully preserved outtakes like it’s a time capsule opened for the first time ever.

Score: 4/5

Sada Baby – “The Black Tape: nWo” review

Sada Baby is a 32 year old rapper & singer from Detroit, Michigan becoming amongst Detroit trap’s biggest names in 2017 off his first couple mixtapes Skuba Sada & D.O.N. (Day One N***a). Fast forward to the beginning of 2019, he signs to Asylum Records for his 4th tape & major label debut Bartier Bounty to widespread praise. He has since put out 11 more mixtapes, with my favorites of the being being Skuba Sada 2 along with his final Asylum offering Bartier Bounty 2 & Bartier Bounty 3. A good potion of Sada’s output in recent memory since the evolution of the subgenre he helped popularize has left most divided & his 16th tape albeit Hitmaker Music Group debut had me hopeful that it would make up for some of the lackluster additions to his discography.

“nWo” named after the WWE Hall of Famers hops over a Detroit trap instrumental to talk about not having the opps in mind because he doesn’t have any whereas “Bloxkside” turns up the bass a bit flexing that he’s too real in the field to be faking shit. “Klip Hamilton” works in some bells so he can compare himself to Rip Hamilton with the stick until “Chuck Money” featuring Kamaiyah talks about knowing those who’ll die by the bankroll.

As for Konjunction Junction”, we have Sada over some pianos & hi-hats suggesting you better hit the road if you don’t pull up the show or studio if he invites you just before “Blood Kristie” refuses to fuck with the lame shit everyone else around him be celebrating. “Bitch” might have to be my least favorite track on the tape with the way he continuously repeats the word throughout leading into “Bloodmerikan Idol” keeping a gun on him since he won’t even budge to do shit the same way he did it.

“Kevin Nash” gives his flowers to the 2-time WWE Hall of Famer, former 5-time WWE world champion, 11-time WWE tag team champion, WWE Intercontinental Champion & TNA World Tag Team Champion bringing a funereal Detroit trap vibe to the table instrumentally while “Speed Run” talks about your death winding up on Google. “Spint” produced by Helluva sticks out as a highlight heavily basing itself around the concept of “slimes” being fake pieces of shit while “Eastside Orkhestra” talks about smoking a pussy with his dog.

The song “Tokyo Drift” sets of the encore of Black Tape nWo showing some Mobb undertones meshing that with the Detroit trap style he’s become widely known for bucking anyone around him who be tryna act tough when they really ain’t & after “No Lies Told” swaps out the secondary Mobb influences in favor of cloud rap counting up $150k until his phone blows up, “Malcolm Mays” atmospherically finishes with a comparison to Lou-Lou from Power Book III: Raising Kanan.

Couldn’t tell you when or if Sada plans to make a full-length debut studio album when you look at his mixtape catalog extending with the course of time, but Black Tape nWo improves on the average feedback Bridge Kard Blessings got over 2 months ago & contains some of the better material I’ve heard from the Detroit trap sensation in quite a while. The 1 guest he got compared to the 3 on the predecessor was all he really needed & he sounds the hungriest he’s been since leaving Asylum.

Score: 3.5/5

Eto & Flee Lord – “RocAmeriKKKa III” review

Rochester, New York emcee/producer Eto teaming with Queens emcee Flee Lord for their 3rd collaborative studio LP. Both of whom have become prolific in the modern day east coast underground hip hop scene & crossed paths with each other on several occasions over the course of time, most notably on RocAmeriKKKa in the fall of 2019 & RocAmeriKKKa II on Devil’s Night the following year. They’ve both spent the next 3 & half years continuing to carve their own paths with their solo careers, finally linking back up to finish the RocAmeriKKKa trilogy.

The intro is mostly Flee Lord hopping over a slowed down instrumental with a hint of psychedelia sprinkled in talking about coming from the state where you’re either wearing it or you’re buying it whereas “Cash Conversion” bring the pair together over a mellow yet dusty beat that Eto cooked up himself blasting anyone with no questions asked. “Digi Scales” featuring Conway the Machine works in some pianos to talk about their days moving weight while “Broken Phone Deals” hooks up a funky organ flip admitting the fast life didn’t change them.

“Kitchen” featuring NEMS maintains a boom bap vibe continuing to talk that Pyrex shit just before “Power” ominously boasting that they stay gettin’ litty without a chaperone. “Zip of Badu” featuring Vel 9 unites the trio so they can dustily talk about keeping the lips sealed during convos regarding money while “Moral of Struggle” featuring Starz Coleman takes on the message of hardships. “Self Crowned” featuring Mummz has one of my favorite instrumentals from godBLESSbeatz making the backdoor the entrance & “The Ones That Stayed” produced by DJ Green Lantern shouts out the people who never switched up.

Rather than having Eto fully handle the production by himself like he did on RocAmeriKKKa II over 4 & a half years ago, RocAmeriKKKa III takes it back the essence of the original RocAmeriKKKa by enlisting other producers to handle the musical soundscapes for a vast majority of it setting the bar of their chemistry as high as they’ve set it for their own solo careers presently when you think of them individually leveling up their craft since turning heads in the late 2010s. Be sure to catch them live at The Paramount in Los Angeles on July 18 for an exciting night for RocAmeriKKKa fans.

Score: 4/5

T.F. – “The Green Bottle” review

Los Angeles, California emcee T.F. enlisting Khrysis to produce his 6th LP. Initially hearing him on “Tookie Knows, Pt. II” off ScHoolboy Q’s magnum opus Blank Face LP, he subsequently dropped his debut EP No Hooks only 7 months later, which was followed up by his full-length album ErThangSkanless & then a 2nd EP called OktoberFest. After appearing on Flee Lord’s 8th EP Hand Me My Flowers produced entirely by Buckwild & put out 2 more EPs on his own, T.F. eventually signed to Lord Mobb Music & put out Blame Kansas produced by both Mephux & Roc Marciano. Over 3 years since the latter, The Green Bottle had already built up more than enough excitement from my perspective due to the singles.

Following the intro, the first song “Ordells Kangol” was a funky soul hybrid to officially start us off talking about taking the whole entire world down not too long after giving it to him whereas “Handle Bars” featuring Flee Lord & Smoke DZAfinds the trio bringing it hardcore over a dusty woodwind instrumental. “Get the Money” works in some pianos finding himself trying to do whatever it takes to make some bread while “Lawry’s” soulfully thanks everyone for fuckin’ with him.

Bun B joins T.F. for a homage to former No Limit Records signee “Mr. Serv-On” talking about what it was like for him growing up listening to Da Life Insurance instead of Lil Uzi Vert prior Baccarat Tumblers” featuring Westside Webb very well possibly being the only track during The Green Bottle that I could care less for. “Air Heads” hooks up a chipmunk soul sample explaining that he got the best of both worlds until “What It Is (TGB)” talks about the best kind of love to him.

“Nostalgia” featuring Curren$y sees the pair linking up over a soulfully drumless beat so they can discuss needing a stylist & wistfulness at the exact same time while “Street Lights” heads for a smoother direction to the beat talking about where the street dudes be hangin’ at even in broad daylight. “Line It Up” chops up more soul samples boasts that there ain’t no blemishes on his name how he came up in hip hop while “Runnin’ in Place” returns to the boom bap talking about the machine being in motion. The final song “God Speed” prior to the outro finds himself feelin’ like his success happened overnight.

Bonding over their love of chess helping each other with sobriety, The Green Bottle overcomes the moderate reception 80z Babies & Feelin’ the Power both went on to receive with an album I can say with the utmost confidence is the most consistent I’ve heard T.F. since Blame Kansas. Khrysis’ production on this one makes a variation of his soulful funk sound tailored for the west coast lyricist to musically back the stories he has to tell.

Hexxx – “Suerte” review

Los Angeles, California emcee Hexxx making a comeback after 2 years with his 3rd EP. First emerging in the underground back in the fall of 2016 off his debut EP Samhain, he would go on to follow it up 3 years later with his 2nd EP West Coast Wicked Shit prior to his full-length debut studio album Demon Season & the sophomore effort Tales of a Cursed G becoming west coast wicked shit classics in their own rights. 22 months have passed & he’s putting out Suerte without any warning preluding his upcoming 3rd LP. Also in time for the WME Group-owned TKO Group Holdings division WWE’s upcoming Worlds Collide V event with their new subsidiary Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide (AAA) purchased from the Peña–Roldán family last month featuring performers from their Anthem Sports & Entertainment-owned partner promotion Total Nonstop Action (TNA) Wrestling. Hoping that the 2nd reign of the longest reigning AAA Mega Campeon El Hijo del Vikingo doesn’t get ended so quickly by the current WWE Speed Champion Chad Gable over a week after former 2-time NXT Champion & NXT North American Champion Trick Williams became the new TNA World Champion shockingly ending Joe Hendry’s reign.

“High Noon” was a Memphis/trap intro with some lyrical content built upon the gangsta lifestyle Hexxx has made a name of himself off of whereas “Payback” works in a trap instrumental with a vocal sample to talk about the concept of revenge. “Drama Under Palm Trees” eerily keeps the trap vibes going always keeping a hammer by his side while “Street Lights” talks about what it was like for him growing up in the dark.

After an interlude from Zach Holmes of the Paramount Skydance Corporation subsidiary MTV-owned Jackass franchise, “Switchblade” pulls from the early 90s g-funk scene tryna get high & paid simultaneously while “Shoot2kill” talks about his state of mind being to hustle forever leavin’ opps flatlined. “Jin” officially concludes Suerte with 1 more trap joint assuring that he’ll crush your skull.

It’s been so long since Tales of a Cursed G came out & whatever the west coast wicked shit trailblazer has in store on his next full-length body of work, Suerte reaffirms he hasn’t lost a step after taking a year off to tour. It’s more trap-based in terms of production other than minor influences of g-funk & Memphis rap, but Hexxx is still very much embracing the gangsta rap themes only a tad bit heavier than he did on the last couple albums he put out in the earlier parts of the current decade.

Score: 4/5
