Underground Fossils: ugf

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!

Gone Ice Fishin'

That's us...

Be back the first week of 2024, we decided to take the holiday season off! But don't worry, UGF is about as retired as Moka Only is when he says he's retired...

Announcement: Regular Visitors Please Read

Hey guys. Just a little check in for today, and a bit of information going forward. Trylemma is taking some personal time from the blog for reasons that are his own. I'm pretty sure he's on the run from the law though, so we'll go with that and wish him a safe trip and a Uruguayan passport. Hasta luego amigo!

In the meantime I will be handling the posting until he is apprehended or whatever and can access a computer again without fear. For that reason I am going to change a few things.

Firstly, posting will be once a week until he's back to authoring. I will be dropping something every Friday morning as normal. However, instead of posting strictly downloads on Friday I will mix it up and if there is a review I'm moved to do I will do it (I got something planned for the near future already, a friend of the blog who knows who they are) otherwise expect downloads probably 70% of the time. Don't worry you will still get plenty of my incorrigible personality and you'll be rewarded for tolerating it with a free fossilized album.

I will not be doing any of the above this week. I am taking a vacation. So following this post, the next one will be dropping 5 am on Friday the 8th. Until then, for those of you in the States enjoy your Fourth (although if you're anything like me this year is going to have quite the bitter taste considering the insanity that occurred last week) and the rest of you have a great Summer!

In seriousness let's all send happy thoughts to Trylemma wherever he is. The impetus to create this blog was his, the motivation to make it what it is today is his, and it would never have lasted the years it has without his incredible hip hop collection and store of knowledge. Get back soon homie!
