Artifacts

I don't know when this first performance is from. Some time prior to 1997 is all I can say. The Artifacts are joined by B-Wise and C-Style. If you know anything about them, or when this was recorded, share the wealth.

Ten years after their final group album, both El da Sensai and Tame One continue to make moves as solo artists. El was joined by a cat named Ink on the radio a few weeks ago.

Tame also did his thing recently, accompanied by a couple MCs from his Boom Skwad crew. I gotta pull out those old Artifacts albums again; I usually preferred El, but Tame shows off mad zaniness here that I didn't really remember from him.

I haven't had a chance to listen to them yet, but Stretch Armstrong recently posted up a bunch of Tame One performances from the old 89-tec-9 days.
