Tha God Fahim x Your Old Droog "Tha Wolf On Wall St."


Fahim and Droog, who have collaborated a whole lot over the past few years, have just teamed up for the new album Tha Wolf On Wall St. There’s some beautiful kismet in the two of them releasing an album with that title today, after Wall Street fuckery has been all that anyone’s been talking about this week. But Tha Wolf On Wall St. isn’t a concept album about Robinhood. It’s just a relaxed, casual, extremely strong rap record. Fahim produced all of Tha Wolf On Wall St. himself, and his beats have a jazz-inflected boom-bap float. As rappers, Fahim and Droog both sound thoughtful and locked-in. The only guest is New Jersey’s Mach-Hommy, and he always sounds comfortable next to Droog and Fahim. - StereoGum. I wasn't really expecting to like this project, but I actually do... and I don't know enough about Tha God Fahim to say much, so I've deferred to those in the know. I credit Fat Beats distro for pushing me over the edge to give it some burn. I'll come back to it again later in the year, too, see how it hits me after another listen. This is my own bookmark, lol.
