as reviewed by Jason De Zilva
By 1994, several Hip Hop duos had already established a high-quality standard in back-and-forth rhyming amidst unbridled chemistry and fluent exchanges that impressed upon the listener a friendship that emanated further back than simply rhyming on the block. Groups such as Run-DMC, A Tribe Called Quest, De La Soul, EPMD, and Outkast entrenched themselves in Hip Hop as rhyming couplets wherein the sum was greater than its parts, even if the parts were still exceptional independently. At each of the aforementioned groups' peaks, classic albums resulted less so from the individual performance than the amazing fluidity sparked by complimentary flows and a vision truly shared by both members. In late 1994, the Artifacts came to embody such a description with their album "Between a Rock and a Hard Place."
Similar to De La Soul and Outkast, the Artifacts were emboldened by a sense of trying to be different (or, excuse the pun, blazing a new path). Although group members Tame One (aka the Notty Headed Terror) and El The Sensai did not envision an even newer "DAISY Age" or "Dirty South," their Hip Hop utopia consisted of endless graffiti walls, raw MCing and Phillie blunts atop the dreary landscape that is New Jeruzalem (New Jersey). In essence, Artifacts had brought backpack rap to the fore with their odes to graffiti, representing a sharp shift from the gangsta rap genre and offering an infectious alternative to heads who were simply looking for great beats, rhymes and spray-painted life.

Artifacts - Between A Rock And A Hard Place (1994)

"Empty your mind. Be formless, shapeless, like water. Now you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle, it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend.” 

SmooVth - Water (prod. Yunibasaru Wa)

A new free download from the forthcoming collaborative long player by Easy Mo Bee and Emskee entitled 'Black Radio', featuring Saint (The Good People) and Dumi Right (Zimbabwe Legit).

The track talks about the lack of variety and individuality on current day radio, and gives tribute to some of the authentic black radio personalities who influenced Emskee.

This track is featured on the 'Two For One' LP - you can purchase vinyl at www.freshpressings.com.
