The Artifacts was an East Coast hip hop group consisting of El Da Sensei, Tame One and later, DJ Kaos.
In 2003, Tame One joined the Weathermen, an underground rap group including Cage Kennylz, Camu Tao, Aesop Rock, and El-P.
In August 2009 at the Rock Steady Crew Anniversary Weekend in Newark, New Jersey, Artifacts briefly reunited during a performance by El Da Sensei.
According to Tame One, the duo had not reconciled their differences but when he heard the horn riff which introduces "Wrong Side of da Tracks", he felt like performing it.
[2] On August 2 of the next year at The Rock Steady Crew 33rd Anniversary Celebration in Newark, both El Da Sensei and Tame One along with DJ Kaos performed officially as The Artifacts.
