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!

New Music: Curbside Pickup (Noah23) - I



There was a time a while ago when Noah23 was flooding our indie rap webs, though, more recently, the man has been pretty quiet. That changed this past week, however, with a new beat tape entitled "I," released under the name Curbside Pickup. 

As far as I know, Noah23 hasn't dropped too many beats publicly over his vast career. As such, I was expecting a sort of rough type project with this one when he announced it. I was pleasantly surprised however with what I got, which is a short 7 track project (with no song going over, or anywhere near, the 3 minute mark) consisting of some very clean and infectious instrumentals. The beats are very "vibey" and worthy of head nods. Noah mixes in vocal samples and sound effects very nicely throughout as well. 

The project is currently free to download on Noah's Bandcamp page. I'm not sure if there are currently plans to continue with the Curbside Pickup moniker moving forward, but I wouldn't mind it! Peep the project HERE
