Tha God Fahim – “Dump Gawd: Hyperbolic Time Chamber Rap 9” review

Atlanta, Georgia emcee/producer Tha God Fahim returning after a week to drop his 56th EP. 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, 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 & Machine Gun Vocabulary produced by Cartune Beatz. A Dumpathon began exactly 2 weeks ago Thursday & the Dump Gawd: Hyperbolic Time Chamber Rap saga lives on with its 9th entry.

“Fuckin’ Mics Up” breaks the doors down with this boom bap intro referring to his rapping abilities as a different form of telepathic communication whereas “Tha Bane of Unrighteousness” works in a video game sample to talk about everyone knowing he’s the nicest & having a piece of mind being priceless. “Tha Extortion of Gauntlet” promises to make tragic endings become the start of a new age while “True Champ” soulfully talks about making people catch bullets as if it’s the NFL.

The song “Gold Panning” hooks up these prominent piano chords making it clear to everybody what kind of timing he’s been on & comparing this rap shit to diamond mining just before the jazzy “Unlimited Dump” sees him carrying more glocks on him than RoboCop as well as being in the midst of a paper chase. “Hado” finishes up the EP with a horn flip holding weapons in his luggage so he can solve conflict with an iron fist.

Exactly a whole week since Dump Gawd: Hyperbolic Time Chamber Rap 8 came out, Fahim’s 6th EP in couple weeks & the 11th project he’s done with Nicholas Craven since October continues the monumental run they’ve been on for 5 months already. The latter’s production bounces between boom bap, chipmunk soul & jazz rap noticeably lacking the drumless undertones of the last 2 installments dumpin’ lyrical pressure for 16 & a half minutes.

Score: 4.5/5

Tha God Fahim – “Dump Gawd: Hyperbolic Time Chamber Rap 8” review

This is the 55th 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, 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 & Machine Gun Vocabulary produced by Cartune Beatz. A Dumpathon began last Thursday & his putting together his 5th EP in the week with Dump Gawd: Hyperbolic Time Chamber Rap 8.

“Blk Luster S” jazzily begins by boasting the fact he dropping music more than singlehanded record labels & going beyond the standard whereas “KaioX10” soulfully talks about the flow being inhumane & being one of the greatest with the pen. “Malfunction” maintains a chipmunk soul vibe making everyone break down & not work properly prior to “Saiyan Blood” hooking up an orchestral flip taking shots at the bitter.

Getting the 2nd half of the EP going, “Tha Heart’s Darkness” returns to more of a chipmunk soul sound promising it won’t end well for any challenger whenever he raises the excalibur while “Special Benefits” has these prominent saxophones making premises diminish with fatalities Mortal Kombat style. “Tha Way” featuring Big Cheeko lastly strips the drums so both of them can talk about aiming for the stars.

We needed a change of pace from the Dump Gawd: Hyperbolic Time Chamber Rap saga like Lethal Weapon since we’ve been getting the first 6 installments for several months, but both parties keep everything that makes this series so great in the picture much like they did 24 hours ago. Nicholas Craven blends hardcore hip hop, drumless chipmunk soul, boom bap & jazz rap seamlessly for 15 & a half minutes on top of Fahim performing better.

Score: 4.5/5

Tha God Fahim – “Dump Gawd: Hyperbolic Time Chamber Rap 7” review

Here we have the 54th 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, 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 & Machine Gun Vocabulary produced produced by Cartune Beatz. Coming off Lethal Weapon the other day, Dump Gawd: Hyperbolic Time Chamber Rap 7 is keeping the Dumpathon alive.

“From the Void” is this soulful intro likening people fucking with the Dump Gawd to gambling whereas “Falsified Documents” hooks up this string sample talking about being an envelope pusher & a master cooker at the same time. “Simple Math” takes the chipmunk soul route telling everyone to keep a positive attitude just before “Real Gainz” smacks the evil out of demons’ mouths giving consequences to those who go against the brotherhood.

The song “Strategic Plans” works in some crooning vocal sampling comparing his squad to the Avengers owned by The Walt Disney Company subsidiary Marvel while “Not tha Only One” maintains the chipmunk soul vibes talking about life being a lonely one sometimes. “Fallen from Grace” ends the EP with these pianos talking about him always trying to love something.

Lethal Weapon was a solid showcasing of Drega33’s talents behind the boards & Dump Gawd: Hyperbolic Time Chamber Rap 7 takes it back to what makes the series so beloved warming up for Dump Gawd: Hyperbolic Time Chamber Rap 8 tomorrow. Nicholas Craven’s production on this one is more prominently boom bap centered with the elements of chipmunk soul, jazz rap & drumless all revealing themselves at points during the 15 & a half minutes.

Score: 4.5/5

Tha God Fahim – “Lethal Weapon” review

Atlanta, Georgia emcee/producer Tha God Fahim dumpin’ his 53rd EP ahead of Dump Gawd: Hyperbolic Time Chamber Rap 7 tomorrow. 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. That said: He’s been on a CRAZY ass 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, 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 & Machine Gun Vocabulary produced by Cartune Beatz. We got a 2nd AND a 3rd installment to Tha Myth Who Never Quit. Taking a breather from of the Dump Gawd: Hyperbolic Time Chamber Rap saga, Drega33 is being brought in to produce Lethal Weapon.

“Leave Nothin’ Left” is this soulful intro boasting the brutality he has with sounds whereas “Tha Speed Force” goes for a drumless chipmunk soul direction instrumentally talking about having vengeance in his heart & wisdom in his mind. “Stay Warm” takes the sample-driven boom bap route moving at speeds that’re pretty much hard to be calculated just before “Silver Bullet” maintains the chipmunk soul edge likening his pockets to Peter Griffin from Family Guy on the Fox Corporation’s flagship property.

To start the 2nd half, “Make Believe” flexing that he’s a misfit with supreme linguistics leading into the crooning “Stronger Than Feelings” talking about him chillin’ on a yacht eating chicken parmesan. “Direct Path” hooks up this orchestral sample on telling everyone not to underestimate themselves & take themselves for granted prior to “Floater” promising to end all height with the techniques of Michael Jai White.

Was expectin Dump Gawd: Hyperbolic Time Chamber Rap 7 to come out first since the whole series has been gradually showing improvements in the last 4 months, but Lethal Weapon will hold off until that time comes in a few days. Drega33 gets a chance to let the underground know what he’s capable of behind the boards with his sample-heavy production pulling from boom bap, drumless & chipmunk soul for Fahim showing no signs of slowing down anytime soon.

Score: 3.5/5

Tha God Fahim – “Dump Gawd: Hyperbolic Time Chamber Rap 6” review

Atlanta, Georgia emcee/producer Tha God Fahim continuing the Dumpathon with his 52nd EP. 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. That said: He’s been on a CRAZY ass run in 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, 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 & Machine Gun Vocabulary produced by Cartune Beatz. We got a 2nd AND a 3rd installment to Tha Myth Who Never Quit until starting the Dump Gawd: Hyperbolic Time Chamber Rap saga that spawned a 2nd, 3rd, 4th & 5th entry in only a few months. 48 hours after the last one, Dump Gawd: Hyperbolic Time Chamber Rap 6 has arrived.

“Symptoms” fuses jazz rap & chipmunk soul together calling his rhymes magnificently significant whereas “Disconnection” soulfully talks about never recovering by any chance on God’s green Earth from this knuckle sandwich he’s on the verge of giving y’all. “Korin” brings in these horns boasting that no one is surpassing him lyrically while the crooning “Over 9000” homages the iconic Dragon Ball Z line delivered by Vegeta.

The song “Crusher” hooks up a sample-heavy boom bap instrumental referring to himself as a phenomenal occurrence with no explanation while the soulful “Destruction Achieved” promises to hit the stage with the same machete that Jason Voorhees carries on him. “Tha Invitation” finishes with more sampling on top of him talking about getting his next belt & never taking a vacation since the Supreme Dump Goat is taking off.

Nearly every Hyperbolic Time Chamber Rap EP we’ve gotten since November all have vaguely similar redeemable qualities & the latest here takes it even further. The hardcore hip hop vibes they’re known for are still prevalent so are the jazz rap, chipmunk soul, boom bap & drumless undertones that both of them have pulled influence from during the course of their careers except they occasionally experiment with vaporwave at 1 point.

Score: 4.5/5

Grounds – “Walking into Tragedy” review

Grounds is a singer/songwriter & multi-genre producer from Farmington, Missouri most well known for leading the alternative rock band It Comes in Waves. Finding his calling quickly during his adolescence, he was invited to front multiple local bands & even formed a hip hop duo which would go on to release 2 full-lengths. He eventually signed to Dirtcore Music last summer, which marked a pivotal moment in the label’s expansion into rock & metal music. Couple singles later, he’s putting out an EP of his own & is setting out to show Dirtcore’s versatility.

“Down in the Fire” is a nu-metal opener produced with Dirtcore founder Crossworm that really gives you a taste of what’s to come from the rest of the EP singing about not feeling alive whereas “Broken” continues the heavy instrumentation explaining that no one knows the Hell he’s been through. “Fractured” goes for an alt-rock vibe that I really enjoy unable to tell if it’s love or regret just before “The Little Things” passionately sings about no longer being afraid of what he’ll lose for speaking his truth. “Make Sure You Hurt” featuring Samson Samson ends the EP vengefully assuring those who cross them will be sorry.

Dirtcore Music is primarily known for their acts being within the underground hip hop realms other than Crossworm’s last album ANTI & Walking into Tragedy feels a lot like Zug Izland releasing their debut album Cracked Tiles under Psychopathic Records or Makenzie Nicole’s sophomore effort Mystic under Strange Music & the Dropout Kings’ sophomore effort Riot Music under Suburban Noize Records being a more recent example. What I’m saying is: Dirtcore lets the It Comes in Waves frontman drop a 5-track EP that I can see appeal to fans of LINKIN PARK, 3 Days Grace, 30 Seconds to Mars & Bullet for My Valentine.

Score: 4/5

Seth Narley – “The American Dream: Son of a Dealer” review

This is the 8th EP from South Bronx, New York emcee Seth Narley. Dropping his debut EP 5am on Crosby in 2019, he would later follow it up by putting out the Trissland trilogy & drop 3 more EPs last year; Night at the Roxy, A Millbrook Story & S.A.L.Y. (Still Ain’t Lie Yet). Both the artwork & the name for The American Dream: Son of a Dealer caught my attention since it homages former 3-time NWA World’s Heavyweight Champion, NWA National Heavyweight Champion, WWE Hall of Famer, WWE United States Champion, 2-time WCW World Tag Team Champion & 3-time WCW World Television Champion Dusty Rhodes.

“Club Eugene” after the “American Dream” intro is a drumless opener to talk about usually making fast money on a slow day while “Pelle Pelle Princess” works in a heavy piano instrumental asking who this dude get his style from since he clearly stole it. “Jolly Mo (High)” featuring S.W.A.N. finds the pair coming up short & getting a quarter for trying prior to “Dusty (Family)” finishing the EP properly by talking about recently being advised to keep it within the bloodline & chillin’ at the courtyard of the Marriott resort.

A little over a decade in the game & the former A$AP Mob affiliate known for his style being a mixture of former Bad Boy Entertainment artist & current It Is What It Is co-host Ma$e meeting Ye formerly known as Kanye West with wordplay inspired by the late Stack Bundles cooks up my favorite EP of his ever telling us what it was like for him being the Son of a Dealer homaging the late father of the current WWE Champion Cody Rhodes who’s also an 8-time WWE tag team champion, 2-time WWE Intercontinental Champion, the inaugural & record-tying 3-time AEW TNT Champion, NWA World’s Heavyweight Champion, IWGP USヘビー級チャンピオン ROH World Champion & ROH World 6-Man Tag Team Champion.

Che Noir – “Seeds of Babylon” review

Buffalo emcee/producer Che Noir recruiting Superior for her 8th EP. Discovering her after 38 Spesh signed Che to TCF Music Group & fully produced her first 3 EPs, her Apollo Brown-produced full-length debut As God Intended & then her self-produced 4th EP After 12 during the 2nd half of 2020 was where her potential began to blossom exponentially. She has since followed this up with the sophomore effort Food for Thought as well as The Last Remnants, the Big Ghost Ltd.-produced Noir or Never, The Color Chocolate & more recently The Lotus Child. It’s been only 5 months since the latter, the Seeds of Babylon have now been planted.

After the intro, the first song “Revelation” soulfully kicks it all off talking about getting a crown after trying to save this rap shit whereas “Bow & Arrow” kinda has a funkier vibe to the beat treating the money as if it’s a fish on a pole. “Sovereignty” goes drumless staying on the grind refusing to go for a day off & after the interlude, “Jynx’s Dream” is really a Jynx716 solo cut giving him a couple minutes to shine by himself.

“Ivory” works in some bongos to reflect on the days when she was surviving in the jungle while “Midnight” featuring ICECOLDBISHOP finds the pair talking about seeing rookies become masters outta special ed. The final song “Destiny Rose” prior to the outro strips the drums once again in favor of these bare strings expressing the joy that she gets out of motherhood being unlike anything else.

When discussing the EPs in Che’s discography, Seeds in Babylon has to be my favorite of her’s since Noir or Never couple years ago & I even enjoyed it as much as The Lotus Child this past fall. Superior keeps pushing himself as one of the German hip hop scene’s most in-demand producers currently & his sound combined with the Buffalo standout’s conscious lyricism makes her first offering of the year more than salvageable to any longtime fan of either of them.

Score: 4.5/5

Tha God Fahim – “Dump Gawd: Hyperbolic Time Chamber Rap 5” review

This is the 51st 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. That said: He’s been on a CRAZY ass run in 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, 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 & Machine Gun Vocabulary produced by Cartune Beatz. Continuing the Dump Gawd: Hyperbolic Time Chamber Rap saga that later had a 2nd & 3rd installment, he’s returning 2 months after the predecessor for Dump Gawd: Hyperbolic Time Chamber Rap 5.

“Crimes Against Humanity” references the current UFC Middleweight Champion Dricus du Plessis of the Endeavor-owned TKO Group Holdings division over a spacious boom bap instrumental to get us started whereas “Hakai” soulfully talks about him meeting the requirements to become a titan. “Mass Gainer” keeps the chipmunk soul vibes going unable to put it any plainer than him continuing to gain mass while “Mirko” talks about so many people nowadays hiding their foul smells.

To kick off the other half, “Radioactive” keeps chopping up the soul samples always knowing that he was fortune’s favorite leading into “Remote Location” maintaining a chipmunk soul edge talking about how you can’t come back once you cross the line with him. “SSDG” makes a reference to WWE Hall of Famer, former WWE Champion & 2-time WWE Intercontinental Champion The Ultimate Warrior prior to “Wayne Towers” ending with a drumless closer dumpin’ like it’s a meteor shower.

These past 10 weeks staying locked in was really what Fahim needed after dropping the previous entries in the series all within the end of 2024 other than the 4th one coming out a little after a week into 2025 & I’m genuinely not trying to sound like a broken record here, but Dump Gawd: Hyperbolic Time Chamber Rap 5 could be the new best in the saga. Nicholas Craven’s brings an influx of samples to the table & the Dump Gawd goes fully automatic on the mic.

Score: 4.5/5

Sk8star – “Rebelution” review

This is the 6th EP from Atlanta, Georgia recording artist Sk8star. Getting his footing in the spring of 2021 off Superstar Status, he would go on to follow it up last year with both the B4NWØ EP & his debut mixtape New World Ørder respectively. The latter being my introduction to Sk8’s music after my lil brody UnreleasedSnip put me on, with songs like “Standin’ on Business” & “YSL Flow” being the standouts for me personally. Following his 3rd EP Mogul along with rebel at the beginning of 2023 & whole new meaning that same spring, Sk8 addressed the Rebel in the Room & the time has now come for a Rebelution.

“Backbone” starts off with a cool trap intro talking about everyone out here being scared simply because they’re losers whereas “On God” talks about people unable to ball with him if you can’t take no charge. “walk down” cloudily boasts that nobody can fuck with a vet like him with the help of Richie Souf until the plugg standout “sex” featuring Diorvsyou & Southsidesilhouette produced by Pi’erre Bourne elevates all 3 of them. “Fuck on a Fan” ends the EP talking about being in the trap & that muhfuckas jumping.

Even if Ye formerly known as Kanye West’s behavior in the past 5 weeks has been absolutely pissing me off, I’m not too surprised regarding him co-signing “sex” yesterday & I myself find to be an exciting moment as somebody who’s been following all 3 artists on there since 2022. As far as the rest of the EP, it’s a good way to prelude his upcoming full-length debut album Designer Junkie.

Score: 3.5/5
