El Da Sensei, Pacewon & MC Exposition - Too Many MCs



El Da Sensei

Artifacts are a now-defunct hip hop duo consisting of El Da Sensei and Tame One. They hail from Newark, New Jersey and made underground music that paid homage to the four elements of hip hop.



In addition to fronting Boston’s award winning “Best Live Band” Audible Mainframe, Exposition took home the award for “Best Underground Artist” at the 2006 Boston Hip-Hop Awards. His new LP, Take A Penny, Leave A Penny is an introspective mixture of reflections, socio-cultural commentary, and freethinking manifestos of life in new world New England. The new album comes just two years after his initial offering, The Metro

The Artifacts' most popular single "Wrong Side of Da Tracks" paid special homage to graffiti art, as they were graffiti artists themselves.

Pacewon

Pacewon was originally a member of a crew named PNS, before starting the Outsidaz in 1991 with then rival MC Young Zee.

Young Zee and Pacewon met at a New Year's Eve party. At the time they met, Young Zee and Pacewon were rival MCs, Pacewon representing PNS and Zee headed a crew named Skitzo.



They decided to unite into one group, The Outsidaz, following a lengthy microphone battle that it was decided ended in a tie.
