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: Blowed Old and New: Volume 10 - Brain Damage and AllCityJimmy - DRFTR

     


Aside from Ngafsh's latest terrific project, a couple other Blowedians have blessed us recently with new albums.

First is OG Volume 10's new one, "Brain Damage." The Pistolgrip Pump king has been releasing weird compilations over the past couple of years, but this one, put out by The Order Label and Alpha Pup, is his first real proper album release in well over a decade. The album is interlaced with mock-interview interludes which do get a bit tedious, but the album's meat and potatoes are more than worth a listen, with Volume 10's energy and presence on the mic being as strong as ever. 

We also recently got a surprise drop from AllCityJimmy, formerly known as Nocando (aka my favorite rapper) - "DRFTR." The 7 track project technically consists of tracks that got cut from an upcoming release, but there's really no filler to be found here. Name change or not, Jimmy's newfound dark and moody song-writing and delivery is really top notch. The standout track is easily "Mobbin" where Jimmy connects with the older Blowed vets and delivers a killer posse cut alongside Rifleman, Mister CR, and Myka 9.
