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.

Max Prime - Amateur Years (?)





Today's post is another mini-mystery release from a now mini-mystery artist.

"Amateur Years" is a project I got online sometime ago from Canada's Max Prime. I can't really find any info about when it was released, what exactly it is, or if it's even a legit release. Based on the tracks, it doesn't look like a fanmade release, however, so I chose to post it here. 

Based on the title, I'm guessing these tracks are taken from Prime's early days, though if you're a fan of Prime you'll likely find more of what you like here (and if you're not a fan, this isn't going to change your mind.) There's a lot of rappity rap raps, which I can handle and enjoy in small doses when not taken too seriously. There's also, however, a handful of weirder more fun tracks like "Ocularis" and "Cosmic Astronauts." Add-Vice, Ben.E.Elim, and Conspiracy, amongst others, stop by for verses.

If anyone has any further info about this release or any of the tracks, please let me know! Prime himself is becoming a "missing" man as he has stepped away from the music scene with little trace (leaving a note here or there to let everyone know he's ok and maybe has a couple more tracks left in him?) Enjoy!
