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!

Thoughtbug - A Few Suggestions (2003)

 


Today's post has us going back up North with Thoughtbug's 2003 album, "A Few Suggestions." 

Thoughtbug is a Canadian rapper and one fourth of Creature Box (alongside Savilion, Toad1, and Shazbot.) He was associated with Legendary Entertainment and Hand'Solo Records but "A Few Suggestions," his second solo album, came via Savilion's (short lived?) label, Green Walls Music. 

Thoughtbug's raps are very early/mid 2000s Canadian underground in both content and delivery (think digestible lyrical miracle.) The production, handled in total by Savilion I believe, is dark jazzy boom bap, which fits well for the time and sound of the project.

I have no idea what Thoughtbug is up to today as he didn't really release anything after this. If anyone has any info, drop it below! (Props to FTD for the scene rip.)
