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!

Asthma and Reese's Pieces - S/T (?)



This week we have a pretty obscure little project from Saskatoon, SK, Canada to share - Asthma and Reese's Pieces' self titled EP. 

I recently had the chance to cop some stuff from Saskatoon legend Epic's personal music collection. When we were going through stuff, he told me that his brother (actual legal brother that is) had a project and asked if I wanted it. It was of course an immediate "yes" from me, and the product was "Asthma and Reese's Pieces." Asthma is Epic's brother, who I only know elsewhere from having a song on the Epic and Nomad collabo album. I have no idea who Reese's Pieces is. 

The 5 track EP sounds very indie and packs a pretty hard punch. Both of the guys are skilled rappers technically and have a lot to say regarding Canadian politics and their personal lives at the time (though I'm not quite sure when "at the time" was, there's no date on the project.) There's no track titles included. 

Peep the project below!

    Thanks for this one. Sounds killer. Got so much underground Canadian stuff in my collection it's always good to hear some of the more obscure releases.
