As former graf artists, MCs Tame One and El Da Sensei gained fans among writers worldwide with their ode to spray-can art on "Wrong Side of the Tracks." Post new-school artists with an old school bent, the Artifacts smartly meshed their own frenetic rhyme pacing with heavy, blunted beats (courtesy T-Ray, Buckwild, and others). While Between a Rock and a Hard Place fell short as a certified classic (its lack of variety limited its strengths), it still had its share of great underground anthems--from "C'mon wit da Git Down," "Lower da Boom," and "Dynamite Soul." --Oliver Wang

Rating: - "The first and last showin' of graffiti rock..."
Artifacts' 1994 debut introduced a hip hop duo to the rap world that fought against the grain of the quickly commercializing rap game.

Well another solid hip hop album from start to end. Here is another one where it is hard as hell to pick something that I dont like on here.

It is sad that they broke up and only had 2 albums out. They are doing there thing on the Independant scene and makeing good stuff. I am biased and have to say that I like El Da Sensei more than Tame One ... Read More

Rating: - ...And Like I Never Heard Of These Guys (Rating: 9 out of 10)
These guys MC El & Tame One from New Jersey were known as The Artifacts back in '94. Now I never heard of these guy up until about 2 months ago, so that means I still have more research to do in hip hop. What I like about this album is that these guys came with straight lyrical skills on their behalf. One track I keep playing repeatedly is "C'mon With The C'mon, Get Down With The Get Down". I just believe the beat on that song is so nice as both lyricists makes it an easy going sound. "Wrong Side Of ... Read More
