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!

Staplemouth - Un-Everything Except Three (2010)

 


 

Surprise! I'm giving away this rar(ish) release from Staplemouth, who's work I've described in detail on my last post. Un-Everything Except Three is a rough compilation style mix of collabs and random tracks, all of different quality and clearly spanning years that was put together by him and apparently given away on Bandcamp. This album contains great features from artists like Demune, Ceschi, BrokenKlutch, Nocturne, Riff Raff, Noah23, Wormhole etc. And the almighty Omega Cix. who's closing verse on "Trilateral Damage" is probably the weirdest, craziest thing I've ever heard in my life.

This is a serious treasure of hip hop music, and in my opinion in many ways surpasses his only real solo release Ruler of Desperate Measures (although "Hanging Gardens 2012" is such a stunning piece of work...). We are overdue a solo album from Staplemouth worthy of his name (The Ogre Ephemeris with Ovate from Tree Dusk Muir is pretty damn good though) and Estuary with Th' Mole coming very soon is sure to be that very thing.

But for now enjoy Un-Everything Except Three!
