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!

VA - Reigncraft Volume 4: The Labor (2004)


Reigncraft was a compilation series spearheaded by Seattle producer KNDNM. The series was supposed to have acted a business-card of such for Seattle (and surrounding NW area) rappers, producers, and recording studios. They were supposed to have dropped once per season, but we had to settle for one per year up until the final volume (Volume 8.)

Today's upload is one of my favorites, "Volume 4: The Labor." One of the great things about the compilation was that is showcased various sounds from throughout Seattle. This volume is heavy on the G-Funk sound, but it has some serious bangers in that sub-genre. Cyphalliance, Bad Luk, Unexpected Arrival, D-Sane, Byrdie, and many others stop by.

Peep it below (FTD Scene rip)!
