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.

Matt Gamin - The Matt Gamin Project (2008)

 


 

I got a sneaking suspicion there are a lot of folks out there looking for this one. If you wander over to this albums page on Discogs, which I'll go ahead and make really easy for you, you'll see a review from a dude who's secondhand albums form a massive bulk of my collection and probably one of the biggest indie rap heads on the planet. Basically he loves this album.

Matt Gamin emerged from the same scene, around the same time as well known rap acts Third Sight, Dave Dub, Tape Mastah Steph etc. Late 1990's San Jose hip hop has a very unique style. Laid back hardcore rhymes and dark production but with an emphasis on intelligence and experimentation. There is a lot to love about SJ rap, and this giant offering from one of it's founders showcases all of that in one singular package.

Enjoy The Matt Gamin Project!

  1. Props for this one. Sounds killer... Yeah, I always notice that Gus dude selling cool shit on Discogs. Glad I own a large bulk of it because his prices always seem ridiculous to me! I'm sure some of it is justified.
