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.

Buck 65 - Year Zero (Side A) (1996)

 


 

THIS album is pretty damn good. More Buck for ya'll straight from your friends at UGF. Today we have Year Zero. Extremely rare hand distributed tape, potentially his earliest use of the Buck 65 moniker I believe?

Sonically this is a Stinkin' Rich album but it does display some interesting production and turntable styling, and of course Buck 65 has been weird since year zero...

I only have the first side of this tape, according to Discogs the physical contains another side of unreleased Stinkin' Rich material. If anyone has a rip (or a cool $1500 so I can rip it myself) you know where to find us!

Oh yeah, and King of Drums is awesome. Everything I love about this guy as a musician and a personality. A lot to unpack. I would review it but I'm only half way through; enjoying every second.

 

Anyway enjoy Year Zero!

  1. I think Side A of the tape was originally intended to be the follow up album to Game Tight. 13 of the 16 tracks ended up on The Weirdo Magnet Double Cassette, and TIL.INFINITY has a first generation rip. The other 3 were uploaded in really good quality from someone with the original tape over on youtube - Here Is (Intro), You Know The Science (Original), and Hit The Breaks.
