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!

Drunken Immortals - Live (2002)



Happy February! This marks the end of the first month of UGF, we hope you’ve enjoyed being a part of it so far, and that you know we appreciate any and all support. So with that...

It's another Friday at Underground Fossils! This week we're excited to bring you "Live" by Arizona hip hop band Drunken Immortals. I can personally say I sought this album out for years before Trylemma hooked me up. It seemed like nobody had it, and I know others were looking for it on blogs and forums all over the place.

So "Live" is not a live album per se, but contains mostly original tracks and some alternate versions of songs found on the Drunken Poetry EP and Soul Revolution albums. It is probably one of my favorite releases from Brad B; the songs are deep, intelligent and dope as hell. The beats and musicianship really prove the amazing talent this group has at creating evocative soundscapes to elevate the consciousness over.

This rip is not ours, and has no tags to let us know who's behind it, but it is high bitrate and sounds great so props to whoever. Enjoy!
