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!

Uncle Suel - Bootleg Music (2003)


Uncle Suel currently resides in Belgium, but was a NW underground staple throughout the 2000s, releasing stuff with the Oldominion crew, the Lamerce crew, Zelly Rock, and the likes. "Bootleg Music" is a 2003 oddity that I copped off Discogs after verifying with Suel himself that it was indeed a legit release (as opposed to, well, a bootleg.) Apparently it was released through an old MP3.com type service (read: print on demand.)

The project consists of 7 tracks, a couple of which are unique to this project (as far as I know) and a few which appear on his 2005 album, "Hungry Season." Suel is definitely drawing in sound and theme from the more mainstream stuff being released at the time, but with a Northwest tinge. 

For those interested, peep the download below (in FLAC files.)
