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!

New Music: Eiji Kwan & Esem (Los Feo Faces) - The Brothers Gloom





New very dope project from Eiji Kwan (formerly known as Everybody Knows) and Esem (the two most active members of Los Feo Faces.) 

While Eiji is no stranger to melancholy lyrics, I am a bit accustomed to hearing him bring in more upbeat, whimsical styles and flows, particularly when Esem is on the production. "The Brothers Gloom," however, is easily one of the darkest projects I've heard from either of the guys. Esem crafts a collection of cold, often haunting beats and EK, who recently left Portland for sunnier Bay Area weather, delivers some very chilling internal reflection raps. "My Son Looks 40 In The Face" is one of the best EK tracks of his career! A truly fitting fall project. 

Peep and cop "The Brothers Gloom" on Bandcamp!
