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: Avatar & Dynamo - Speak Truth To Power

 


Well, two weekends ago we were blessed by a surprise album drop from 2Mex, "Ghostwriting Songs for God," as well as a surprise album drop of the long awaited collabo from Myka 9 and Profound (RIP,) "Nine Clouds." Then, to continue the West Coast greatness, this past weekend we got a surprise drop from Avatar and Dynamo - "Speak Truth to Power." 

Avatar and Swedish producer Dynamo last teamed up in 2009 for the release "Chaos Theory." Apparently, however, they've been cooking up songs since then and finally chose to release the collection in form of a new album. For those who enjoy that gritty west coast alt sound - this is for you. Features include lots of familiar faces: Awol One, Xololanxinxo, Radioinactive, Neila, and Thesis Sahib!
