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!

Very Special People - Very Special People Compilation (2004)





For today's release we have something "very special". The compilation / self titled album Very Special People is a showcase of some of Los Angeles' most talented hip hop acts, performing over live instruments and production by James Morris (you've heard his work on such songs as "Lake Release" by G&E and "B-Boy Real McCoy" by Jizzm featuring The A-Team).

You'll experience such amazing voices as Neila, Abstract Rude, AWOL One, Acid Reign and Existereo transforming funky instrumentals into instant classics. Almost all of these songs are above average in quality and undeniably catchy; this album is most definitely a keeper.

Thanks to Devo for sharing this originally, I believe it deserves another online debut. Until next week!

      It is such a good release. That Acid Reign track is one of my favorite songs by them as a group.
