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.

Virtue - Growing Pains (2005)





This week we have something as rare as it gets. Straight out of Trylemma's vaults comes Growing Pains, by F. Virtue (fka just Virtue). I haven't had time yet to listen to this album as Trylemma just ripped it a few days ago, but I know this is the one he alluded to in his post for Hue Records' Virtual DJ Set for Virtual Night. It contains a song with Nolto, as well as one with Sims of Doomtree.

You can find specific information about this album here. For those who don't know, F. Virtue makes insightful music about life, love, marijuana and as an openly gay rapper about what it means to be different in the rap game these days. "Anita Bryant" is a particularly moving and honest example of the kind of music you can expect from him. I've been really excited to listen to this for a while now, and I wanted to get it out to you as well.
