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!

Transition - Nomadic (2008)

 


Today's upload is a Canadian lowkey drop from Transition and their 2008 album "Nomadic."

Transition is comprised of producer Dave Wallace and rapper Transit22. Transit is a pretty prolific rapper (he toured with Doomtree once when I first saw him) though I'm not familiar with Wallace. To my knowledge, this is the only project that the duo released.

The production from Wallace on "Nomadic" isn't very intricate, but the bare-boneness of it, mixed with its earworm melodies, is pretty good. On the rapping side, you can tell that Transit both really likes Rhymesayers lol and is still finding his voice in both song writing and delivery. Even so, the early pieces are definitely there so it's fun to listen to!
