Underground Fossils: Cam The Wizzard & DJ Cosm

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.

Cam The Wizzard & DJ Cosm - Rapface (2002)

Today's post is the debut album from both Cam The Wizzard, currently best known for his work with Side Road Records, and DJ Cosm, currently best known for his work with Dragon Fli Empire, "Rapface."

The album was conceived after Cam and Cosm met each other in high school in Calgary. In a cypher circle outside of a Fourth World Occupants show, some angry rap-hating neighbor threw out the would-be-slur 'Rapface' and the guys decided to name their debut album after it! The "label" is Urban Farmers, which also served as Cam's first crew name with Cosm, No How, Rank Nubah, Infinite P, and Spime (the latter two of which are featured on the album.)

There are actually two versions of this project. The first version, which has a different cover and insert, contained an extra track called "I Won't Run." I have the physical cd lying around somewhere and one day I'll dig it back up to share. For now, however, enjoy the second version below.
