Dump Gawd members Your Old Droog and Tha God Fahim are already back with their second collaboration of the year in Tha YOD Fahim. Opposed to their last record, Tha Wolf On Wall St, the production is a lot more intuitive here, and with 41 minutes of running time, the duo is able to flesh out the experience to the fullest. Lyrically speaking, both Droog and Fahim are at their best as on top of their prolific chemistry, the subject matter addressed is a lot more thoughtful. Topping all this off with a rarely given and striking feature from the legendary Pharoahe Monch, this LP is easily one of the best this year has seen so far!
