AWESOME!!!
This is true hip-hop, no compromises. If you're dig that raw "underground" sound, don't miss this one, and also cop "Between a Rock & a Hard Place". Artifacts have great lyrics, their technique is above average to say the least, and they got nothing but the dopest beats. I think they should get some more credit cuz i've only seen one video, once or twice (The Ultimate) and most people haven't even heard of 'em.This is a great album, and anyone who likes hip-hop should cop this one. I can't even list my favorites, just play it from start to end.
That's them......that's perfection!!!!!!
There isnt a bigger compliment i can pay other than to say it was a damn shame these 2 cats didnt get what their talent clearly deserves.......multi platinum status+globel recognition.
From start to finish this is nothing short of a masterpiece. The beats and rhymes at a level most artists in hiphop today or previous will never reach. The 2 mc's flows are fast, witty, honest, hard edged, skilled and basically perfect. The beats are absolutely rockin'. The dj (KAOS) is off the meat-rack, his cuts and slices are awesome, and they bless EVERY track. Its basically "2 turntables and a microphone" time baby!!!! All the tracks are excellent but my stand out joints are "art of facts", "31 bumrush", "to ya chest", "the ultimate", "its gettin'hot", "the interview", "this is the way", "who's this?" and the showbiz remix of "the ultimate" at the end. Off the hook.
REPPIN NEWARK SON.
It's very very rare for an artist to release back to back classics,Artifacts from N.J did just that.Beats,lyrics,theme e.t.c blends together you gonna think they from another planet.
