Underground Fossils: emotionz

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!

Fourth World - Powerhouse (2006)

Canadian's answer to CVE Fourth World Occupants released one full length official album on CD I know of and that's Powerhouse. If you're a fan of that early 2000's hardcore hip hop flavor with chill grooves, clever lyrics and descriptions of good times with the homies then this one's for you. Brought to you by Emotionz, Deps Pneumonik, Big Rowd, and Lace with production from House One.

This one is starting to look it's age but for those of us who still remember a time when rappers had more face than tat it sure ain't bad. And who knows maybe some under 20s will find they like it. Probably not though lol.

Emotionz & DJ Moves - Eastvan Mixtape (200?)

For all you Low Pressure completists we got the rare (I think) Eastvan Mixtape produced and curated by DJ Moves of "Steal My Sunshine" fame and Emotionz of not much (although much deserved) fame on the rhymes. I've posted some of his earlier material here in the past (actually almost a year ago to the day lol, crazy) so I'll skip the background. Click the tag if you want more information and an earlier solo album from this chop hop lyrical mastermind.

Eastvan Mixtape is a cool collection of tracks about enjoying life, partying, music and women. If you're into the Canadian take on West Coast cool you will certainly love this and probably have most of Emotionz other albums at this point anyway.

I want to wrap this up with a quick entreaty to my UGF homies. I don't have art for this, the release date, or any solid info. It came from Emotionz himself but in the form you're getting it. If anyone has album art or background please get at us below.

There was a video made for the opening track... See if you can recognize any of the guest stars with the terrible video quality lol.

And of course enjoy, because flurona.

Emotionz - Rent Money (2006)

Well here's a quick Friday fossil for you guys. Straight outta Vancouver, Canadian rapper Emotionz is a founding member of Fourth World Occupants, and raps with a stony West Coast chop hop ease that should appeal to just about any fan of rap. This album is one of his earliest, and while he's yet to find that songwriting skill he displays prominently on albums like Scovilles, this album is still laid back, catchy and dope.

I've noticed that the scene rip of this is missing tracks, so I made this one from my personal copy. 320 kbps and contains every song.

Enjoy, sorry for the brevity but it's Thursday night and I'm scrambling. Have a good weekend!
