DEFINITION OF FRESH

Emerging unexpectedly from the epicenter of trap music, talented Atlanta emcee Tha God Fahim quickly distinguished himself with sharp wordplay and atmospheric production that couldn't be further from the monotonous sounds echoing around him.  Reviving the unmistakable vibe of two classic early releases in his remarkable catalog, Fahim is returning with the new album Tha Dark Shogunn Saga, Vol. 3 . An impressive continuation of a journey that began nearly a decade ago, the collection finds our hero back in warrior mode, sharpening his lyrical blade over rich production from Cookin Soul , Nicholas Craven , Fortes , and Fahim himself.  Tha Dark Shogunn Saga, Vol. 3 is available today at all digital outlets, with a vinyl pressing hitting stores worldwide. All three chapters in Tha Dark Shogunn Saga trilogy are also available in a limited-edition 3LP vinyl set, with a trifold jacket, Japanese OBI, and distinct colored vinyl mixes for each volume.

No one confronts the abyss better than Chris Orrick . The Michigan ex-factory worker formerly known as Red Pill has spent the last half-decade documenting industrial decay, familial pain, and struggles with addiction better than almost anyone inhabiting this poisoned soil. It’s somewhere between Charles Bukowski and Michael Moore , or maybe Atmosphere if he couldn’t ignore the arsenic in the air. As Orrick tells it, “Portraits” , his latest album for Mello Music Group is a return to form.
