Underground Fossils is run by Dimxsk and often by Trylemma, who is on a hip hop spiritual journey in the Himalayas and may not be back for a bit. Posts are every Friday, usually some quality old sh*t but sometimes promotional posts or "reviews". We do all we can to make sure we don't post stuff that (1) You can still reasonably buy from the artist directly, (2) You can reasonably buy secondhand for cheap, (3) You can download easily elsewhere, (4) The artist(s) asks us not to for any reason. Rips will include our own personal rips, old scene rips, and random web rips.

AthenA - Total Destruction (2001)

 


So here's this. My cat needs to be fed so I'll do a quick intro. AthenA is the dopest emcee you've never heard. As far as I know she's only released one single, which you can get here on an otherwise totally electronic / IDM label (I think, too lazy to verify). If you've heard her it's probably because of her work with Noah23 on his phenomenal Rock Paper Scissors, or Wormhole on his song "Trainwreck" off of Tetrahedron, or her various features on Sankofa and his affiliated folks songs.

She was slated to drop this album, Total Destruction way way back, but it never did come out. What I've included is something someone put together (dunno who but it's probably The Chuckchee) that may or may not be the entire offering or just pieces. It does a good job of highlighting her skill on the mic, mostly as a double timing braggadocios battle rapper.

Enjoy, my cat is about to start nibbling my toes so he needs food now. Stay healthy friends!
