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!

Matt Gamin - The Matt Gamin Project (2008)

 


 

I got a sneaking suspicion there are a lot of folks out there looking for this one. If you wander over to this albums page on Discogs, which I'll go ahead and make really easy for you, you'll see a review from a dude who's secondhand albums form a massive bulk of my collection and probably one of the biggest indie rap heads on the planet. Basically he loves this album.

Matt Gamin emerged from the same scene, around the same time as well known rap acts Third Sight, Dave Dub, Tape Mastah Steph etc. Late 1990's San Jose hip hop has a very unique style. Laid back hardcore rhymes and dark production but with an emphasis on intelligence and experimentation. There is a lot to love about SJ rap, and this giant offering from one of it's founders showcases all of that in one singular package.

Enjoy The Matt Gamin Project!

    Props for this one. Sounds killer... Yeah, I always notice that Gus dude selling cool shit on Discogs. Glad I own a large bulk of it because his prices always seem ridiculous to me! I'm sure some of it is justified.
