Underground Fossils: Lexicon

Underground Fossils is run by Dimxsk and often by Trylemma, who is on a hip hop spiritual journey in the Himalayas and may not be back for a bit. Posts are every Friday, usually some quality old sh*t but sometimes promotional posts or "reviews". We do all we can to make sure we don't post stuff that (1) You can still reasonably buy from the artist directly, (2) You can reasonably buy secondhand for cheap, (3) You can download easily elsewhere, (4) The artist(s) asks us not to for any reason. Rips will include our own personal rips, old scene rips, and random web rips.

Lexicon - L-Sides (200?)

Today we've got a compilation from the great Lexicon - Nick Fury and Big Oak. I actually know very little about this one. According to Discogs, it was one of those mixtapes handed out by HipHopSite.com. As for the year this dropped, I'm not sure, but based on when HipHopSite was active and the songs included here, I'm guessing the early 2000s.

The project is made up of previously released obscure tracks and a handful of tracks that I haven't been able to find elsewhere. The coolest part of the project is that the guys give a little write-up about each track on the inner insert:

The tracks themselves are pretty cool, a good mix of the braggy and the comedy that Lexicon is known for. It's not their best display obviously, but even minor fans will likely find something to enjoy.

Peep the download below and to Lexicon...when we getting something new?!?!
