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!

Soldiers Of The Ill - Soldiers Of The Ill (?)

 


Ok, I'm doing a bit of information crowd-sourcing with today's upload! A while back, I was coping some CDs from a buddy of mine and I ran across this obscurity - which I'm hoping to find out some more information about, as I know nothing about it aside from the physical cdr itself (which only has the printed front cover and a handmade disc.) 

So the title of the release is "Soldiers of the Ill" which I'm assuming is the group name as well. From the sound of things, there are 3 main rappers. Based on where I got the CD, I'm guessing they're from Cali. They sound like a mixture of like Tha Alkaholiks and the Cali Agents. Not the greatest stuff, but interesting nonetheless. 

Anyhow, check out this weird release below, and please let me know if you have any info on it!
