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!

Red Tide - Rogue MC's (1998)

 


 

Sorry! Wow I totally forgot it was Friday, hence the very late post right here. Oh well, luckily I made it before midnight at least, and I had this gem ready to go thanks to the homie Treidoiunu.

Red Tide was a group of rappers out of Florida active in the late 90's and early 00's. They released mostly singles and EP's along with a number of side projects and unofficial promo albums. Rogue MC's is their only official album and showcases what they're all about. Strictly B-Boy culture lyrical hip hop. Catchy, witty and DIY.

Enjoy!

  1. Love these guys. Excellent lyricism and beats. One of them is still around and released a sci-fi rap album last year.

  2. Track 1 is corrupt for me as well. Please check and re-up if possible. Thanks!

  3. Actually that doesn't surprise me, I've had some issues with that drive recently. Really frustrating. The files on my itunes are fine I'll just upload those. Retry tomorrow.
