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!

The Most - A.O.K. (2003)

 

 

Happy Friday y'all! Time to take it way way back, to a time long ago called the early 2000's, when two New Haven brothers formed a trio with another dude named Jay Scarafiello and decided to make weird sing songy hip hop in the vein of Imprints and Shapeshifters. The result is just as out there as it sounds.

The Most is essentially Anonymous Inc. minus a lot of what made them so amazing (live instrumentals, good songwriting, Max Heath) but it does have it's moments. And both Ceschi and David Ramos have enough talent to make just about anything sound good.

That said this is mostly for the hardcore Ceschi fans out there, and be warned there's a reason it's never resurfaced. Hopefully he doesn't mind if I share this. It's a great fossil and definitely hard to come by...

 

Enjoy A.O.K.! Oh and by the way, definitely check in a week from today because I caught a glimpse of what Trylemma's offering up and you don't want to miss that...

  Note: There appears to be a single image file of this album cover floating around. I have never seen a larger, higher resolution image, it's clear someone scanned a jpeg back before we could all do it at home. This can't be all there is. Does anyone have good cover art for this one?
