Underground Fossils was an indie rap focused blog run by myself (Dimxsk) and by Trylemma, who passed August 3rd, 2024 from liver failure of unknown origin at the age of 34. We mostly posted week or twice weekly, the bulk of which were rare rips we made, found on old blogs, he acquired through his insanely broad connection to the scene, etc. We did all we could to make sure we didn't post stuff that (1) You could still reasonably buy from the artist directly, (2) You could reasonably buy secondhand for cheap, (3) You could download easily elsewhere, (4) The artist(s) asked us not to for any reason. Being involved in this blog was some of the most fun I ever had, even if at times it was time consuming, challenging or intimidating (having a readership). It was the product of one of the best friendships I've ever had. If I could say one last thing, it's to encourage all of you: if you have the time and desire, make your own UGF. Find a friend who loves this shit like you do and build it together. It will bring you incredible joy, enhance your connection to this amazing community, and change your life in unexpected and exciting ways. I know it did mine. Love you all!

Kayaquatic (Kay the Aquanaut) - Day Dreamin' (1999)



Today's another Friday at Underground Fossils which means we're sharing a rarity with y'all, and it doesn't get much more obscure than this. In honor of the recent release of Kay the Aquanaut & Maki's psychedelic rap album Earth Station 7, we decided to share with you guys this particular example of Kay's roots as a rapper.

Day Dreamin' is his 1999 album under the name Kayaquatic, and to be honest I haven't even heard all of it yet. We had prepared a post of an album allegedly by Kay the Aquanaut called Day Dreamin', but at the 11th hour Trylemma got in touch with Chaps looking for the official cover art. Chaps informed us that the rip floating around is an unofficial version with a fan made cover (see below). It's incomplete, this is the original version, ripped for us by Chaps himself late last evening. Shouts out to the man, he's awesome.

Anyway, this album was produced by DJ Ring Worm, aka DevoTea, put out on WermWhole productions (which probably isn't a label at all) and is a must have for fans of Side Road, Fake Four, Factor, Chaps, good hip-hop in general. Enjoy!

Note: The artwork featured above is the unofficial cover, made by whoever compiled the version floating around the net. It's actually pretty cool so I figured why not post it. If you made it I'm guessing you did your best to recreate the album off Limewire or whatever, so now you have the full version.
