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: Video Dave - Week 1560


Fans likely know Video Dave most for being Open Mike Eagle's current right hand man, but hopefully that'll change a bit after Video Dave's latest album, "Week 1560," sinks in.

"Week 1560" is the first album to drop on Mike Eagle's Auto Reverse Records. The album does contain the now infamous number of 7 tracks, but this is far from a bite sized release. Each track is named after a day of the week, and follows the life and times of Video Dave on that particular day. Like Mike Eagle, Video Dave has a gift for reaching larger themes and topics via a look at the mundane daily moments. Dave does have a more ethereal approach in general to making music, however, when compared to Mike, which sets him apart. The production on this also has a very summer vibe to it, which makes it ideal for the times (even if we're stuck inside with masks on.)

Stream "Week 1560" HERE and cop it digitally (only digital for now I believe) via all the major platforms!
