”Lethal Weapon 2” Improves on Tha God Fahim’s Predecessor with Drega33 (EP Review)

Posted by on

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. 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. Taking another break from the Dump Gawd: Hyperbolic Time Chamber Rap saga, 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: 8/10
