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!

Factor Chandelier - Hi Way Mix Vol. 1 (2004)

 


Today's upload is from the GOAT producer himself, Factor Chandelier and his "Hi Way Mix Vol. 1" from 2004 (back when he was just Factor, post Factor G!) 

"Hi Way Mix Vol. 1" is a DJ mix that Factor dropped in the early days of Side Road Records. The mix includes classic joints from the likes of Blackalicious, Living Legends, Busdriver, Ellay Khule, Myka 9, OutKast, Jaylib, Felt, Bored Stiff, LMNO, and many others. We also get a couple exclusives including a live version of Paranoid Castle's "Dirty Dancin" and a freestyle from the great M.Phasis (over Jaylib.) 

The mix is super dope and gives you a picture of what Factor came up on. To my knowledge, no other installments were made. Props to scene group b2r for making the original rip. Peep below!

    Is he the GOAT? i dont think so, not yet anyway...i love the stuff, majority of stuff he has produced for Ceschis broken bones and sad fat, but i thought first storm was a major let down apart from a couple of tracks, the first 2 tracks are dare i say it wack,but some of his stuff is magic.a couple contenders for GOAT still making music has to be ANT and EL-P
