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.

Black Mask - Serious Joke (2009)

 


Today's upload is one of my most sought after physical releases on the wantlist - 2009's "Serious Joke" from Black Mask!

We've talked a lot about Black Mask on this blog so you probably know the deal - a Mountain state crew of revolving members headed up by super-producer Maulskull. The crew has dropped a lot of (free) music throughout the years that you can still peep on Bandcamp, but this project from 2009 evaded me for the longest of times. Maulskull uploaded several tracks from it over the course of several compilations, but I could never find the actual album in full. Luckily, my buddy BrothermanTrill passed me a digital copy a couple of years ago. 

It's always intrigued me that this one seemed to have gotten buried. The production is crisp as are the raps. Verbal Kent, Eternia, Celph Titled, and Tha Alkaholiks all stop by as well. Banging album all around. Check it out below! [Oh yeah - if anyone has a physical CD copy of this...please let me buy it from you lol!)

    That album's way too good to just be lost. I seriously don't get why they don't just re-issue it, even as a bandcamp digital only. It's really good.
