Tha God Fahim – “Slam Dump 2” review

Atlanta, Georgia emcee/producer Tha God Fahim with his 2nd extended play of the month & his 72nd overall. Starting as an affiliate of Griselda Records & 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 WealthSupreme Dump Legend: Soul Cook Saga produced by Cookin’ Soul & Machine Gun Vocabulary produced by Cartune Beatz. Last time I covered him was when Slam Dump & the self-produced Ultimate Rapper 5000 Guillotine towards the end of 2025, running it back with Drega33 for a Slam Dump sequel.

“Behold It” sets it all off with a soulful opener talking about not letting life slip away whereas “Il Find” featuring Jay NiCE continues the chipmunk soul vibes so they can discuss keeping the streets on smash regularly. “Freedom N Knowledge” goes for a smoother vibe instrumentally suggesting not reach for his belt when his discography speaks for itself leading into “Broken Hope” jazzily talking about every dog having it’s day.

The song “Became Great” chops up more soul samples to push towards Slam Dump 2’s final moments admitting that he had to let go of people he used to go to school with while “1up” featuring Jay NiCE reunites the pair 1 last time stripping the drums so they can talk about being on a power level with no estimate. “Venomous” spends the final couple minutes ripping a chipmunk soul instrumental explaining that he had to learn how to adjust to the diabolic world we’re living in & that it’s never too much.

I have no doubts that Season 2 of the Dump Gawd: Hyperbolic Time Chamber Rap series will be resuming sooner than later, so it isn’t really too much of a shocker that Tha God Fahim would drop off Slam Dump 2 on the same day Nature Sounds reissued Tha Dark Shogunn Saga 2 for streaming ahead of it’s 10-year anniversary when next January rolls around. Drega33’s production maintains the predominant chipmunk soul sound that we heard on the predecessor a few months earlier & Lethal Weapon 4, occasionally taking some inspiration from drumless & jazz rap rather than continuing the lo-fi boom bap direction Solar Lottery primarily embraced.

Score: 4/5
