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!

DJ Handprints & Nocando - Los Scandalous Mixtape (2008)



Per request, this week's upload is the "Los Scandalous" mixtape from DJ Handprints, hosted by (my favorite rapper of all time,) Nocando.

Both Handprints and Nocando hail from the legendary Project Blowed and, more specifically, the Customer Service crew. Like other Handprints mixtapes, this one consists of various West Coast classic jams mixed in with a good deal of exclusive tracks that you can only find here. It's always fun to listen to tracks like "Holdin' Down Spots" with Dumbfoundead, Open Mike Eagle, Sahtyre, Nocando, Alpha MC, Psychosiz, and SP and see where they're all today!

The download includes both the mixtape in individual track form as well as a single file mix. Both are old FTD scene rips. Peep the mixtape below and enjoy!
[Oh yeah, take time to celebrate that weirdo Talib Kweli's Twitter getting suspended!]
