Tha God Fahim – “Dump Gawd: Hyperbolic Time Chamber Rap 10” review

This is the 58th 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. We just got Lethal Weapon 2 over a week ago & Dump Gawd: Hyperbolic Time Chamber Rap 10 has arrived after a week-long delay.

“Rapid Succession” featuring Jay NiCE is this chipmunk soul intro talking about being in a space where everyone around them is eating whereas “Tha Highest Caliber” likens every word he says to a bullet & wack MCs becoming a part of his highlight footage. “Massive Proportions” brings the crooning soul samples back in the fold references Groot from the Guardians of the Galaxy owned by The Walt Disney Company subsidiary Marvel just before the orchestral “Rejuvenation” talks about making up for the slackin’

The song “Lord of Rhyme” gets the 2nd leg of Dump Gawd: Hyperbolic Time Chamber Rap 10 going by shining sublimely & categorizing the techniques he demonstrates as flawless leading into “Flow Sick No Vaccine” making his competition malfunction because of the destruction & corruption he brings forth. “Dark Dojo” gets back on the chipmunk soul tip 1 last time to talk about the pen being forbidden in addition to breaking down why he walks the lonely path he takes.

Craven recently took to Twitter a day or 2 ago hinting that we could potentially get 90 more installments in the Dump Gawd: Hyperbolic Time Chamber Rap saga & since all 10 that’ve seen the light of day maintain a specific level of quality, I wouldn’t mind it at this point. I’m happy that they pushed this back a whole weekend so the proper adjustments could be made whether it be the production showing influences of drumless, chipmunk soul & jazz rap or Fahim focusing on his pen a bit more slowly bringing guests on the mic with him.

Score: 4/5

Berner – “Carbon” review

This is the 3rd EP from San Francisco, California rapper, songwriter & entrepreneur Berner. Beginning as a battle rapper in high school, he would go on to drop 16 LPs along with a few mixtapes & a couple EPs in addition to the plethora of collaborative projects he has with numerous artists. Hoffa was a Gotti sequel that recaptured the essence of its predecessor from a new perspective & the Cookies founder is back 5th months later to put out Carbon teasing his next studio album.

“Mid Flight” soulfully talks about everything you need if you want to get right whereas “Envy” strips the drums to discuss themes of jealousy. “Fuck ‘Em” featuring Mando works in a rock sample to give everyone the middle finger while “1,000,000 Bags Sold” featuring Ohgeesy & Yung Chowder finds the trio talking about pushing that many bags of dope. The title track goes for a dreary trap vibe embarking on an endless paper chase & “Corporate Thuggin’” featuring Chevy Woods smoothly ends with them tryna get paid.

Hoffa was the most that I personally have found myself enjoying a project from Berner in some time since his most recent output has been generally treated to mixed reception & sadly to say, Carbon feels like a step or 2 back after taking a few steps forward last fall. His verses & the production are both, but I feel like the performances from the features primarily don’t really hold up to the Bern 1 Entertainment founder’s other than both Ohgeesy & Chevy Woods.

Score: 2.5/5

Tha God Fahim – “Lethal Weapon 2” review

In front of us is the 57th 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. Taking another break from the Dump Gawd: Hyperbolic Time Chamber Rap, I totally get why Drega33’s coming back in the picture for a Lethal Weapon sequel.

“ATK on Titan” is this jazzy intro likening his wraps to the dark fantasy anime series 進撃の巨人 whereas “Analytics” featuring Jay NiCE talks about their styles being a mix of the almighty Wu-Tang Clan & It Was Written. “Sacred Tablets” strips the drums creating his own lane & overcoming the rough patches in his life while “Lethal Force” hooks up a pitched vocal sample to talk about specializing in spreading viruses.

The song “Final Justice” starts the 2nd leg of Lethal Weapon 2 by hopping over these prominent horns telling everyone to move out his way unless you want chaos to ensue & him having something to prove just before “Ain’t No Way” blends chipmunk soul & drumless talks about having 0 distractions in his path. “Aura Farming” ends the EP with a jazz rap single he dropped this past weekend referring to himself as hip hop royalty.

Much of the discourse centered around Lethal Weapon a few weeks ago were generally mixed & I can’t be too mad at the successor here being much more well received from what I’ve been seeing across the spectrum. Drega33’s production still relies on samples dabbling with drumless, chipmunk soul & jazz rap this time around on top of the lyrics feeling like a long lost scroll getting deciphered in the middle of the Sahara desert.

Score: 4/5

J-Classic – “The Jordan Rules” review

J-Classic is a 36 year old MC from Ypsilanti, Michigan who I first met in 2018 after Middle Finger Music put out their inaugural release with Aztek the Barfly’s 3rd album Line King & was even signed to the prominent Detroit underground label for a brief period of time. We’ve heard him on multiple features up until this point & is celebrating his born day by putting out his debut EP, which is ultimately the 1st time ever solo project in his discography that’s been a very long time coming after I was in his city this weekend for Astronomicon meeting both former AEW Women’s World Champion and アイアンマンヘビーメタル級チャンピオン Britt Baker alongside the current TNA World Champion Joe Hendry who also held the recently retired TNA Digital Media Championship for a record-holding 266 days on top of making former 4-time WWE world champion, 3-time WWE United States Champion, future WWE Intercontinental Champion and 5-time WWE tag team champion Sheamus believe at this year’s Royal Rumble couple months ago.

“Somewhere” begins with a slowed-down vocal sample talking about beating the game in the hardest setting or difficulty whereas “6 Rings” compares himself to the greatest basketball player of all-time Michael Jordan. “Ragnarok” produced by Foul Mouth refers to an important event in Norse mythology while “Baba Yaga” with Tru Klassick talks about the prominent figure in Slavic folklore. “Pinball Pete’s” shows off Game 7 intensity fusing jazz & trap until the title track finishes by keeping a 12 with no name on it.

I used to tell people to keep an eye out for J-Classic for several years & The Jordan Rules finally gives the underground a sense of why I’ve been co-signing him for so long. Its production explores a myriad of sounds including boom bap, jazz rap, trap & use of samples refraining from having any guests joining him so he can hold the bars down by himself carrying his own weight through these versatile musical backdrops the way I imagined he would’ve.

Score: 4/5

Rick Hyde – “In Plain Sight” review

This is the 12th EP from Buffalo, New York emcee/producer Rick Hyde. Amongst the most notable artists on Benny the Butcher’s very own Black Soprano Family Records, his debut album Plates that came out at the very beginning of 2019 was pretty solid on top of 11 EPs & a sequel to his full-length debut. The last time I covered Ricky was during the summer of 2023 when Chop-La-Rok & Rare Scrilla produced Lupara homaging hip hop’s golden era, returning In Plain Sight starting the 2nd quarter of 2025.

The intro sets it off with a drumless opener with some background vocals produced by Haas Almahdi keeping the grass cut so we can keep an eye out for the serpents whereas “God’s Timing” produced by his son Myles takes a shot at trap showing self-awareness of him being unable to stop grindin’. “Wish You Would” goes for a boom bap direction flexing he’s been doing this way before everyone else found their voice while “Minimal Effort” featuring Benny the Butcher & Lo Pro finds the trio dropping a verse with no hook.

“Exodus” featuring GoToMar$ maintains a boom bap vibe so both of them can get to the bag properly instead of sittin’ around leading into “2Gether” stripping the drums once more talking about saying Amen as soon as he comes back home. “10,000 Hours” fuses chipmunk soul & trap boasting that the love B$F has for each other is ocular, but then “What More Can I Say?” finishes by telling everyone to listen closely wanting to fax rap & dissing everyone pumping out dull music.

Starting the deluxe run, we are treated to a sequel to “Come Up” off Plates II making it clear that he’s still hungry over a piano instrumental while “Work Wednesday” incorporates more keys to do some soul-searching off the top for a few minutes. The final bonus track “Shine’n” sends things off officially by talking about hard times never mattering to him all that much since he’s survived all of them.

Similarly to Lupara couple years ago, In Plain Sight once again sees Ricky taking a backseat behind the boards allowing a couple notable names & mostly lesser-known producers to take the wheel although I personally find myself going back to Lupara more. The production ranges from drumless to trap, boom bap & chipmunk soul with Benny having my favorite guest verse of the 3 as well as Rick coming harder than he did on R.I.C.K. (Realizing It Can Kill) last Halloween.

Score: 3.5/5

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
