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: AG Flux - Summer In-Flux




I've been slacking lately on new music, but I did want to briefly share one of the best instrumental projects I've heard thus far this year: AG Flux - Summer In-Flux. 

AG Flux is a talented rapper and producer from Colorado as well as a member of the great Black Mask crew. He dropped one of my favorite (vocal) projects of 2018 with the album "Accompanied by Solitude." While he's a great rapper, he seems, at least of late, to be more interested in production. He's done various "beat a day" projects that he's shared on Instagram and the instrumentals rarely fail to impress.

"Summer In-Flux," which dropped in late July ("New" is used loosely in the title lol,) is a collection of 8 great instrumental tracks. Those who enjoy synthy melodic beats, with a fair amount of slap, will likely find lots to enjoy here. Flux, like all great producers who drop instrumental albums, knows how to craft beats that live on their own (without the need of a rapper or singer.) It seems like he may have learned a thing or two along the way from Black Mask head Maulskull!
