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!

New Music: AG Flux - Long Winter

 



As I get older, I find myself listening to more and more instrumental Hip Hop and AG Flux's recent "Long Winter" album has been at the top of the list over the past week. 

AG Flux is a member of the mountain-state collective Black Mask as both a rapper and producer. Most of his output recently has been beat-based. "Long Winter" is a collection of 8 lush and colorful instrumentals that deliver full length song punches. Think a slightly more ambient version of fellow Black Mask member Maulskull's production. I can definitely relate to the title as well as we recently got 3+ inches of snow up here in the middle of April lol! 

Peep it below!
