Artifacts are a now-defunct Hip Hop duo consisting of El Da Sensei and Tame One . They resided from Newark , New Jersey where they made Underground music that paid homage to the Four Elements Of Hip Hop . HISTORY The Artifacts' most popular single "Wrong Side of Da Tracks" paid special homage to Graffiti Art , as they were graffiti artists themselves. They released their first album, ''Between a Rock and a Hard Place'' on October 27, 1994. Well received by underground hip hop audiences, it featured intelligent lyrics, as well as B-boy and graffiti themes. The album's hard-hitting, funky beats were produced by Buckwild (from the DITC crew) and T-Ray (from the Soul Assassins crew). The Artifacts' second album, ''That's Them'' was released on April 15, 1997. It featured similar material, but it did not receive as much recognition as their debut effort. Later in the same year, The Artifacts split. Tame One and El Da Sensei have both continued to release music as solo artists. In 2004, Tame One teamed with underground veteran Cage Kennylz to release the drug-fueled "Waterworld" under the alias "Leak Bros". DISCOGRAPHY SOURCES |
