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.

Manic D - Manic D (?)





Manic D is a Portland based rapper, and more currently a comic creator, who is perhaps best known for being the rapper half of the duo Newspeak. Today's post is an early self-titled 3 track EP from the man, though I'm not sure as to the exact date of release.

Manic D displays an early playful, nerdy, West Coast inspired delivery on the EP over a handful of jazzy boom bappy beats. The main theme on the project is a painting of his life as a struggling rapper, though there are some hints of more introspective themes (topics that he dives into much more currently, especially in his comics.) You won't be blown away by anything on these 3 short tracks, but, for an old relic, it's certainly worth the 10 minute listen. 

If anyone knows when this was released or the titles of the tracks (I have the cdr, but it contains no such info,) please let me know.
