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!

RIP Juice Wrld




I'm guessing that Juice doesn't have a lot of admirers amongst the visitors of this page, but I (Trylemma) was a big fan and he was, in my opinion, the best artist to have debuted this decade. The kid (dead at 21) made thousands of tracks on his own, had freestyled for hours on screen off the dome, came up with lots of fresh schemes, cadences, and melodies, and really had a career in front of him. Truth is, Juice was probably a harder worker with more left-field ideas than a lot of "indie" rappers. Sucks to lose another one. RIP.
