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!

Granola Funk Express - God Force Energy (2001)

 



Today's post is an obscure one - if anyone has any further info on it, drop it in the comments! 

Granola Funk Express is a live-based Hip Hop group originally from North Carolina, whose members include, amongst others, Foul Mouth Jerk, Adam Strange, Agent 21, and Josh Blake. The group released various albums throughout the 2000s, but I can't seem to find much info on this release, "God Force Energy" (a name that mirrors "Granola Funk Express" in initials.) The rip itself is an old CMS scene release. According to it, the project was a vinyl release from 2001. If this is correct, it would predate most of their releases aside from the 1999 "The Good Life." 

Anyhow, the 5 track release is pretty fun if you enjoy the band-y sound! Check it out below and let me know if you can tell me anything else about the release!
