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.

3NP! - Family Maxi-Single (1997)

 


Today we bring you 3NP!'s "Family" maxi-single from 1997! 

3NP! was a group/crew headed up by MG! The Visionary, named after his record label "Third Nail Productions." The group mainly consisted of MG! himself but also included some guest spots throughout the years, most notably Smoke from Oldominion. The vibe, like early Oldominion, was Christian, though not overtly preachy or self-serious. 

This single is taken from 3NP!'s debut album, also from 1997, "Poetically Consecrated." It features the title track taken from "Poetically Consecrated," a nice edit, a cool remix, a couple skits, and an exclusive track to this release called "The Transcending." Pretty nifty stuff. MG! handles all roles on this one. 

While we're at it though - anyone else miss maxi-singles? Lots of cool stuff to be found on those. Peep it below!

  2. Thank you a lot for all your posts!
    The audio quality is pretty bad for a cd, it's not even at 256kbps. Could perchance be an old rip?

    1. I apologize for the quality. I own the CD but the rip was sent to me by the person who I purchased the CD from and has been fine for my purposes all these years. I'll likely eventually make a scene-proof rip of my own eventually, but not likely anytime soon.

    2. It sounds alright to me as well. I have many other rips that are much worse but still good enough to listen to.

    3. Thank you, Trylemma. No problem, I'll download it again next time. I'm a bit picky about audio quality, just that. That said, what you are doing here is great enough!
