Underground Fossils: scallops hotel

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!

milo - Black American Gun Club Beat Tape (2017)

Today take a little listen to milo's "Black American Gun Club" beat tape from 2017!

"Black American Gun Club" is a single file 25 minute beat tape from the artist formerly known as milo (currently RAP Ferreira and Scallops Hotel.) The beat tape was originally only available via milo's now defunct patreon. The beats here (a couple which might be familiar) are soulful and lingering and reminiscent of the "Who Told You To Think?!?!" era (one of my favorite albums from the man - I actually own that one of one beat tape too, perhaps I'll rip it someday hehe.)

So DL below and enjoy the weekend!

New Music: R.A.P. Ferreira - the Light Emitting Diamond Cutter Scriptures

RAP Ferreira (fka milo) blessed us with a black friday drop this past week in the form of a new album, "the Light Emitting Damond Cutter Scriptures."

While the name-change may have been for search purposes, Ferreira definitely has a more confident and free approach to sounds since adopting the new name. The flows have become simultaneously more fluid and more forceful while the content seems to be more focused without losing too much of the stream of consciousness.

Peep Pink Navel, Eldon, Vast Ness, and Nalepa on the beats amongst others. Peep the album below!
