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!

Jundax - Oraloragami: The Karaoke Collection (200?)

 

 

Hey y'all. So for once this week I knew just what to share for you. After the surprise revival of West Coast jazz rap act Private School and my review I remembered I had this one laying around, and that it'd been a bit of a pain to track down. Fortunately I'm determined to spare you guys the same experience, so here it is!

Jundax is a founding member of the Record Players, a NorCal super group composed of folks like Joe Dub, Maleko, Neila, members of Araknophobix and more. Her vocal style is laid back and sort of cute, but with a bite that comes from intelligence and the true DIY ethic that propelled all of those folks from the bedrooms and garages of the Bay to hard drives all around the world.

Oraloragami is lo-fi as hell, but also fun as hell and definitely something for the indie rap fan who still buys cassettes and finds it frustrating that they don't hiss anymore.
