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.

Poetic Pilgrims - Weighty Mic Sessions (2003)




Springing off of the Prairie Rap post last Wednesday, today's upload is 2003's Poetic Pilgrims' "Weighty Mic Sessions." 

Poetic Pilgrims was a Saskatoon trio, consisting of Parab Poet, Inside Out, and Kwest. The guys gave their unique Christian rap take on the Prairie rap sound. While the guys were close to others in the scene, they kept nearly the entire project to "faith based" artists out of fear of what their church would think otherwise. Apparently Factor had offered them a beat for this project but they turned it down for this reason (Muneshine does a beat on here, but got the pass for his work with Lightheaded.) 

"Weighty Mic Sessions" is the trio's only official album and it fits in nicely with the Prairie Rap sound of the time. Things do get preachy at times, but still generally fine for those (like myself) who don't identify with Christianity. Braille and Sev Statik make appearances, connecting the U.S. Christian indie scene to the Canadian one. 

Peep the album HERE.
