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: Ol' Gorilla Bones & The Dirty Sample - Revenge Vol. 1

 

He's back! 

After seemingly retiring the Apeface rap moniker a handful of years ago, Calgary super producer The Dirty Sample not only decided to dig up old Apeface for a comeback, but he got him to evolve into the new and improved Ol' Gorilla Bones...and he's got rhymes galore!

The Dirty Sample is an amazing producer. Dusty Canadian style boom bap mixed with cinematic, eerie at times, samples that are guaranteed to make your head nod. With that said, I am of the opinion that the man is an even better rapper, and one of the most overlooked when it comes to indie rap. The cadences and rhyme schemes are fresh to death on here, but, as is often the case with the Apeface, the signature back of the throat delivery style is the highlight. 

This is "Vol. 1" so I'm praying that "Vol. 2" is in the works! Peep it below via Hand'Solo Records!
