Never stop digging: open.spotify.com/artist/599KMlXxJRZw2b7nV9WuNc

it dont matter how deep you dig,you will always find hidden gems underground

So refreshing to know there is someone else, that in this mordern age of "hip-hop" that appreciates what real hip hop is, and is willing to share it with the masses.

RIP Tame One

if anyone is wondering, this is the Artifacts, one of the best hip hop duos of all time. If you don't already have between a rock and a hard place as well as That's Them. As good of an album as Funcrusher Plus if you ask me

BRICK CITY NEW JERSEY!!!! Love from Florida!!!!. Love all my east coast brothers!!!!! East coast we the best!!!

If you're listening to this, you have really good taste in music. Have a great day.

It's nice to see that the comment section in oldskool hiphop is always positive and friendly.

Still playing the Artifacts first album. Forever relevant. Love these guys. Takes me back to my teens in the UK!

I'm from Colombia of course in my childhood I could only listened Eminem or the main rappers from the early 2000's and of course Eminem Snoop and Dre are legends, but when I discovered all this underground world thanks to the KZfaq mix 1995 mix 1996, I found the best Boom bap or Hip Hop ever made, New York can not compared with any other place when we talk about Hip Hop, shout out to all this legends.

During this time, I feel extremely grateful for being born before the turn of the century. That boom bap has a way of echoing memories from the late 80s and early 90s. Good times long gone. Stay blessed family

Hidden Gems!!!!

Soundtrack of the Jansport and Tims era. Man I miss the 90s!

I graduated school...but this channel make me feel like I'm finally getting my education

Real hip hop never dies

Nothing better than finding and being blessed with “New” Hip Hop songs from the 90’s that are fire , it’s 2020 and still finding some Gold

RIP TAME, always remembered

Just discovered this in 2020, I wish I was blessed with this earlier!

absolutely love the 'ho happy jackie' sample from AZ in 'what what'

Awesome tracks, just bought the vinyl!

Well this sh*t is dope. I'm glad to have been served this one, feels correct. The place you are born doesn't make you who you want to be. Glad to be a forever in transit, bless the lyrics

Your collection is AMAZING!! Thank you SO much for keeping this music available!

how is it possible that people like newschool hip hop more then this.... such a shame...

"They keep it real in small doses" i love that line

They still show up and rock shows in Newark. I used to see Tame alot just on his way somewhere. Dopest mc's

I have no clue how i stumbled onto this 10 years after it got put on youtube .with a tune like this it is never to late as i wil be bumping my head to it many times again

Jazzy funky HipHop is perfect for this summer 😎

The second track is a total blast, love it.

This is just way to smooth, Absolutely obsessed with East Coast Underground Hip Hop, there is no comp in my books

One day i will tell for my kids that in my time I used to listen to hip hop on Vinyls! All right, thanks to you @Deeper Dude

I love when youtube just randomly autoplays something i haven't heard in years and sends me on a month long kick playing said artist/group. This was one of those times. Damn glad i quit paying attention to this tab. Lol

I got in trouble for playing this on the speaker at work

Music is the universal language of our people!

Now this is real ass hip hop. Kinda makes me sad because we won't see the greatness that was rap back then.

You got some good tunes man. The 90's are the golden era for me. They just don't do it like that anymore!

144p video of lp spinning and bit of lo-fi sound quality made the whole mood complete.

BIG UP ARTIFACTS! REST IN POWER TAME ONE

I love this. Feels like I'm really there in the room.

Ho Happy Jackie.... This sample is too strong!

Yooo wtfk dis Shii go hard yoo

I'm honored that this was recommended to me 😌

This is my first time hearing this....wish I heard it back then dope record💯

I miss music like this. Good beats with lyrical flow.

First heard this on a spellbound 96’ mixtape by bentheace...never looked back since 🤩

RAWKUS was so dope. Miss that label. You could buy their vinyls without a listen, just by seeing that logo on there.

Massive thnaks for providing us with dope sounds! So many unheard bombs!

These kids made some mad music man. Loving the sound.

Um salve do Brasil! Ouvindo aquele rap louco, sonzeira! Sempre! Salvador-BA, presente!

Man this is hip hop in the purest!…funk all that hip hop evolution shite!…keep it raw a dope beat a DJ and the MC(s)

Awesome stuff, I always think ive run out of great hiphop untill I find stuff like this

Been a while since I've found my self screwfacing, head nodding and head shaking all at once 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Dope. Tame One and El Da Sensei, criminally underrated

This is one of those moments where I was jamming so hard but so afraid to look up how much time was left, because its always my luck that the song I like are only like 2 min long, but this masterpiece is 8 min!!!

O verdadeiro hip hop ainda respira !!! 2023

Glad peoples are paying homage to real Hip Hop!

We represent the REAL hip hop

this is also my first hearing this, and it''s 2020... EO,,NJ.....representin da real hip hop.....this is bangin....ol school n a category by itself......

This one is golden yo.

Real hip-hop is still valued in Russia, be sure about that! Much respect!

Wish I was here sooner to listen to this gem

Ditched two back flips for these rappers with black lips, and action packed lyrics in hieroglyphics on a half inch.

listening to this jam while i wait for the subway, amazing!

You can’t tell me hip hop ain’t ruined after listening to this....😞

Nice beat, boom and baps sounding clean as air

"1-2-1-2 word up! EVIL DEE is on the mix ! C'mon kick it!!!" Unforgettable

I listen to this abouta 2 minutes and think like: "Damn they're sound like 'Artifacts'... Then i go to info section and see that they ARE Artifacts. Hahaha.. Good to hear that.

Thanks for posting this!!! I heard it on Soundbombing when it first came out and managed to get a hold of the 12" not too long ago. I'm old as f@ck now but I'm never getting rid of it.

Grabbed this 12" from Play De Record in Toronto when it dropped back in '97!

if you watch the record spin, you can go back in time and 2020 disappears... until the music stops

pure gold! I hope after 10 year u still have this vinyl

It should be illegal for music to be this good. I've had this on repeat all day 🎤

From Brazil 🇧🇷 respect

These guys knew what the hell they were doing! All the stuff they have is fire 🔥 much props 👍🏾 not sure what the heck happened to music over time but the stuff out now can’t compare nor compete with stuff like this! ❤️

El Da Sensei, una de las mejores voces y flows en la comunidad underground.

This is now my favorite thing..

Legend has it, they held everything they could back to not reply "in the butt"

Fun fact: Those that were never heard of through the mainstream, didn't sell their soul for fortune and fame.

69 and machine gun kelly are millionaire's and these guys aren't, let that sink in for a minute🤔

Smooth AF

Remember the second beat from Soundbombing back in the day. Long live the 90’s!

i love it when yt recommends me the right things

Pure Sound! à l'ancienne comme j'aime!!!!!!! :)

Well you are more than welcome to join my playlist, being that you are an absolute banger.

I thought I had this record. Such peaceful atmospehre!

Wow so amazing!!! And that hook sonds like Method man! So dam good!

Time runs fast, still love it
