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!

...of Proliteariots - Co-Stars (2002)

 


 

 In celebration of the impending drop of the new Staplemouth album with Th' Mole Estuary (seriously cannot fucking wait for y'all to hear this. It drops the 10th but I've got an advance and as soon as I have the cognitive capacity I'm going to absorb it and report the details. More coming on that!) I've decided to share a cool little single from Staplemouth's earliest known crew from his home on Oahu.

Pretty much the definitive Hawaiian underground hip hop (along with Neila of course) Proliteariots delivered some of the dopest wordplay I'd heard in years, with stylistic flair and a sound unlike anything else out there. Not just rapid fire, completely unusual and hard to pin down. Add to that Aloeight production and you've got audio crack in the best possible terms.

Enjoy this little two song vinyl rip courtesy of Hawaii's hip hop history, and Nocturnes bedroom!

    Nice. Didn't even know this existed and I've had the album since it dropped in 2002! What a treat 20 years later! :)
