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!

Manik - Indigibonics (2007)

 


Dimxsk is busy this week, so I'm doing a quick upload in his place. Next up - Manik's "Indigibonics" from 2007!

Manik (aka Manik 1derful) is a Native First Nations rapper from Canada (Vancouver I believe) who is a member of the great Sunday Skool Dropout crew. He's been putting out music (and doing battles) for quite a while now (he's on a posse joint with Macklemore floating out there lol,) but 2007's "Indigibonics" is one of his more obscure works. 

The beats here seem to be mirroring the more radio friendly sounds of the mid 2000's, but the raps are all on point. Peep the scene rip below!
