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!

Top Anticipated NAMED Projects Dropping In 2020




Here's 10 projects set to release this year that I'm highly anticipating. I'm only including projects with a set name as everyone (and their mother) is working on "some new shit." 


1. Gregory Pepper - I Know Now Why You Cry: I've been needing a new Peps album, even after his very successful 52+ song Patreon run. I am so mad I missed out on copping one of the 3 test presses of this (or else I'd be bumping it now!) Drops Feb. 14th

2. Death Dealers Anonymous - DDA Vol. 3: DDA has been dropping some absolute slappers this year. I don't expect the third installment to be any different. Drops Jan. 25th.

3. Toussaint Morrison - Social Science Club: Toussaint's "debut" solo project was great though not as good as his mixtapes. Hopefully this will change things. It was slated to drop this past Fall but got pushed to ?

4. R.A.P. Ferreira - Bob's Son: Rap Ferreira feels free and funky as fuck. This debut should be good. Not sure when it's dropping.

5. Awol One - Tony The Walrus: This officially drops Jan. 31st but we've got an early review coming out for it soon. Be on the look out (spoilers: it's good.) 

6. Filthy Fingers United - Vol. 1: Filthy Fingers has been dropping amazing NW beat-tape compilations for years and, this year, they're finally entering the physical realm with their first vinyl! Drops Jan. 20. 

7. Syndel - Forbidden Love: It's been nearly 15 years since Syndel dropped her solo release. Bout time for some new new! No release date as of yet.

8. Kay The Aquanaut & Maki - The Nautical Blue: Kay and Maki have been on a rampage lately, and this project, based around 200,000 Leagues, could be their best yet. Drops Jan. 21st. (Maki has also been releasing instrumental versions of his Kay collabos on Bandcamp - check those!) 

9. On Tilt - Koba Dera: The QM and Luke Sick saga continues... Drops Jan. 23rd.

10. Hives Inquiry Squad - Open Mind Sessions: New stuff from Lucas Dix and the late Gavin Theory. I know a lot of heart is going into this one. Set to drop in the spring. 


What are ya'll looking forward to?
