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.

...of Proliteariots - Co-Stars (2002)

 


 

 In celebration of the impending drop of the new Staplemouth album with Th' Mole Estuary (seriously cannot fucking wait for y'all to hear this. It drops the 10th but I've got an advance and as soon as I have the cognitive capacity I'm going to absorb it and report the details. More coming on that!) I've decided to share a cool little single from Staplemouth's earliest known crew from his home on Oahu.

Pretty much the definitive Hawaiian underground hip hop (along with Neila of course) Proliteariots delivered some of the dopest wordplay I'd heard in years, with stylistic flair and a sound unlike anything else out there. Not just rapid fire, completely unusual and hard to pin down. Add to that Aloeight production and you've got audio crack in the best possible terms.

Enjoy this little two song vinyl rip courtesy of Hawaii's hip hop history, and Nocturnes bedroom!

  1. Nice. Didn't even know this existed and I've had the album since it dropped in 2002! What a treat 20 years later! :)
