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!

Buck 65 - Unhip EP (2010)

 


 

 This right here is an EP from Canadian rap pioneer and unapologetic weirdo Buck 65. From writing hardcore sex rap to penning tame lyrics for Sesame Street, this cat has been a staple of the underground for three decades (not to mention his invention of the "crap" country / rap genre during his 'I don't like rap' phase") and he does continue to impress.

This little album was available via a Sendspace download specifically from a few blogs such as Grandgood and UGSMAG, released to celebrate his 5000 Twitter followers (I think) but as far as I can tell it's gone... until now.

Contains some goodies, unreleased songs and remixes. The Buddy Peace produced track "She Kissed the Boy" is a standout and is one of his best somber ballads in a while. The rest are classic Buck. Weird, random and at times hilarious and fun little snippets of the Canadian wild life. Enjoy!
