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!

Vice Versa - Blind Surgeon (2008)





As promised, here's some old old Cane Corso music from the subject of my Wednesday review Carminemoth, as Vice Versa.

Blind Surgeon is in my opinion a great place to start with his work, it's a bit more accessible for the fans of more conventional rap than his later stuff, and it's got some great production with enough eeriness and darkly mystic quality to make it a different take on the East Coast conscious rap it shares some stylistic components with.

Enjoy Blind Surgeon!
