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!

Tru-ID - Stranded (2006)

 


More Northwest goodness this week with Tru-ID's "Stranded" from 2006! 

Tru-ID is a Seattle rapper/producer who runs with the Undercaste crowd. You might know him for his collabo album with Ricky Pharoe, who appears here on Tru-ID's "Stranded" album (I believe it's his debut?) 

Tru-ID has a really strong presence on the mic and can definitely rap. The sound of this project, it's produced by someone named Isaac Meek, definitely incorporates the NW version of G-Funk, which is cool, but the rhymes definitely stick out the most here. Features include Ricky Pharoe, Latin Rose, Neema, Lamar Real, and Willie Wil. Check it out below!
