Tha 70 Tape Legend himself Tha God Fahim getting back with Nicholas Craven for his 49th 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. 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, 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. 5 years since Tha Myth Who Never Quit, we got a 2nd AND a 3rd installment of Tha Myth Who Never Quit couple months ago but coming off Dump Gawd: Hyperbolic Time Chamber Rap & the sequel, it’s time to close out the trilogy.
“The Intent of Vengeance” kicks off Hyperbolic Time Chamber Rap 3 with a soulful boom bap instrumental talking about having to get right because shit could possibly change tonight whereas “Bullet Proof Confidence” works in some keys, kicks & snares flexing that his self-assurance is indestructible. The piano sample on “Senzu” feels reminiscent to “On My Block” by Scarface to talk about him still having it lyrically just before “Not for Sale” wants to know if you’re a foe or friend to him.
Getting the other half going, “Heavy Handed” brings a soulfully dusty flare back to the table comparing his longevity to current Los Angeles Lakers player LeBron James while “Kumite” Keeps it in the basement instrumentally promising to waste y’all like it’s Grand Theft Auto. “Makankosappo” ruggedly promised to take everyone’s words regarding him & making them eat ‘em at the end leading into “A Step Further” closing it out telling everyone to be good sports watching him making half court shots.
Ending his 2024 with a bang, the Dump Gawd teases big things coming down the pipe throughout 2025 by completing another trilogy of projects with one of the greatest producers of this current decade firstly. Nicholas Craven’s production carries on the boom bap emphasis both prior installments of the Hyperbolic Time Chamber Rap series had put on themselves 6-7 weeks ago & Fahim outdoes himself from a lyrical standpoint.
Score: 9/10
