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!

Third Sight - From Outta Nowhere (1993)

 

 

 Hey guys, had a bit of trouble coming up with something to post for today, and then with a brilliant flash of light this appeared (okay actually one of y'all hooked it up, and for the life of me I can't remember who but thanks!). From Outta Nowhere is the first release from South Bay Area group Third Sight, those guys who did "Smegma in D Minor" among other frankly amazing songs.

From Outta Nowhere is a very short but very sweet little project. It contains three otherwise unreleased tracks from the group and one song "Gunshot Victim" that is featured on their awesome Orchids & Corpses compilation (get that one now please).

For fans of that gritty San Jose experimental and intelligent with a heaping dose of legitimacy and swagger style. Dave Dub, Haez One, Joe Cutter, Matt Gamin etc. This is to my knowledge one of the earliest examples of this truly unique style of West Coast hip hop.

      Huh, that's too bad. I guess the quality is just incentive to buy the tape when they re-release it :-)

      haha maybe the seller did it on purpose, I bought the mp3s from a guy online that made a digital rip from his tape for 150 bucks lol.
