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.

Lyr-x-ist - The Krossing (2004)

 


I was slated to have a guest post today, but that has temporarily been postponed, so instead I'm posting a homie's recent request: Lyr-x-ist's "The Krossing" from 2004.

Lyr-x-ist is a trio hailing from Saskatoon, SK, Canada, consisting of DJ/Producer Are-Tis-tik and Rappers Atrium and Apostle. The group has a number of various projects under their belt, but "The Krossing" seems to be the most prominent. While I am told that the crew didn't have lots of overlap with contemporary Saskatoon crew, Side Road Records, "The Krossing" is very much in line with that prairie-rap sound, in both rapping and production. Comma Concept and Patty C (aka Forgetful Jones) are even featured on several of the tracks. 

I'm not sure about the current status of the group (it looks like they haven't released anything for well over a decade,) so if anyone is up to date, let us know! Enjoy this old FTD scene rip below!
