Underground Fossils is run by Dimxsk and often by Trylemma, who is on a hip hop spiritual journey in the Himalayas and may not be back for a bit. Posts are every Friday, usually some quality old sh*t but sometimes promotional posts or "reviews". We do all we can to make sure we don't post stuff that (1) You can still reasonably buy from the artist directly, (2) You can reasonably buy secondhand for cheap, (3) You can download easily elsewhere, (4) The artist(s) asks us not to for any reason. Rips will include our own personal rips, old scene rips, and random web rips.

J The Sarge - Head Music (2006)






We are staying in Cali for this week's upload with J The Sarge's "Head Music" from 2006. 

J The Sarge is probably best known for being a part of the Magic Heart Genies and running One Wise Studios. He's dabbled in lots of styles (perhaps most notably Dancehall fusion) but I think the early "Head Music" might be his best work to date. 

Sarge has a very Bay sound when it comes to both his rapping and production on here. The delivery styles are very exaggerated and Sarge plays around with multiple flows throughout the album. The content is kept pretty lighthearted for the most part. The instrumentation is thick and laid back at times and frantic and glitchy at times. Various guests stop by as well including Megabusive, Dave Dub, Z-Man, and Franco.

The end result is a pretty solid album front to back. I really would be interested to hear what a follow up to this project would sound like in 2019. Check it out below!
