It's still Factor week up here, and today we're hooking you up with the 2012 EP from Rasx, produced by Factor, "5 Flowers!"
I don't know much about Rasx at all other than the fact that he's Canadian and the fact that he's a very good rapper. On "5 Flowers," Factor hooks Rasx up with 5 incredible instrumentals (not a dud in the group) and Rasx makes great songs out of all five of them. The guy has a very unique voice (think a mini Cam the Wiz?,) has great song concepts, solid rhymes, and, most impressive, very strong hooks. The Factor production obviously elevates the project to a new level, but, even on his own, Rasx is dope.
Rasx had this up on his Bandcamp at one point, but it has since disappeared and, to my knowledge, has not been made available elsewhere. Peep it below.
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!
