Underground Fossils: anticon

Underground Fossils was an indie rap focused blog run by myself (Dimxsk) and by Trylemma, who passed August 3rd, 2024 from liver failure of unknown origin at the age of 34. We mostly posted week or twice weekly, the bulk of which were rare rips we made, found on old blogs, he acquired through his insanely broad connection to the scene, etc. We did all we could to make sure we didn't post stuff that (1) You could still reasonably buy from the artist directly, (2) You could reasonably buy secondhand for cheap, (3) You could download easily elsewhere, (4) The artist(s) asked us not to for any reason. Being involved in this blog was some of the most fun I ever had, even if at times it was time consuming, challenging or intimidating (having a readership). It was the product of one of the best friendships I've ever had. If I could say one last thing, it's to encourage all of you: if you have the time and desire, make your own UGF. Find a friend who loves this shit like you do and build it together. It will bring you incredible joy, enhance your connection to this amazing community, and change your life in unexpected and exciting ways. I know it did mine. Love you all!

New Music: Illogic & Odd Nosdam - Right The Ship

Attention snobby 2000s underground rap fans! A new collabo EP from none other than Illogic and Odd Nosdam!

I'll admit, I was a bit skeptical of this when I first saw it pop up last week. I am not super heavy into either of the artists, but since it was a short EP, I took a chance and was pleasantly surprised! Instead of getting deep into the trenches of weird abstract "lyrical" rap, as a collabo like this could, things are kept very fresh throughout all four songs + the bonus remix. Odd Nosdam serves up some very melodic and colorful production and Illogic delivers on the raps on every track.

Peep the collabo HERE!

Object Beings - Object Beings (2001)

Okay, by request we have the self titled CDr by Anticon's three oddest voices as the Object Beings. Pedestrian, Dose One and Why? (when that was just one person, not a band) along with someone called Emynd. What could go wrong?

The result is possibly one of the strangest things Anticon ever was involved in, and that's saying a lot. Many of these tracks are just noise experiments, spoken word poems, or random samples. The full songs aren't bad however, specifically the "Theatre of Nature" tracks are enjoyable and the remix of "The Cannibalism of the Object Beings" has it's moments.

For fans of Anticon only. You've been warned.
