Underground Fossils: Mestizo - U May Not Heard This (2008)

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!

Mestizo - U May Not Heard This (2008)

Gonna do a nice basic download this week, because I seem to remember this getting requested, me saying hit us up via email, and never hearing anything back. I couldn't find it for download anywhere on Google (aka anywhere in the known universe to most of us) so here it is. U May Not Heard This.

Well I might have heard this, and it's dope. I've spoken at length about Mestizo previously so I'll just sum up his work as edgy conscious hip hop with a strong West Coast flavor and the courage to be both street and artistic (like most of his fellow Galapagos4 brethren.)

Also I saw him with The Heavy Twelves and that was the last time I could hear properly.

Enjoy!
