El Da Sensei stepped onto the hip-hop scene as one half of the Newark, NJ, duo, Artifacts. The Artifacts first rose to fame with the hit “Wrong Side of the Tracks.” After El Da Sensei and his partner Tame-One sent a rough demo to Bobbito the Barber at WKCR in New York, the group was signed to Big Beat/Atlantic Records. They released their debut album, Between a Rock & a Hard Place, in 1994 with “Wrong Side of the Tracks” as the lead single and video. After that initial hit, the Artifacts splashed the world with joints like “C’mon Wit Da Git Down” and “Dynamite Soul,” and went onto tour the U. S. as well as Europe and Japan. They had developed a fan base of hardcore hip-hoppers, being graffiti artists and hip-hop purists themselves; they sparked a new sub-culture in hip-hop called “backpackers.” In 1996, the group followed up their debut with their sophomore album, That’s Them. Although not nearly successful as the first album, many hip-hop fans claim the album is an “underground classic,” spawning the underground hits “The Art of Facts” and “The Ultimate.” Shortly after the release of the second album, El and Tame decided on an amicable break up. After the split, El Da Sensei went on his own traveling around the world and appeared on numerous compilations from Japan to Norway to Germany. During this time, he dropped the singles “Frontline” and “Got That” to let fans know he was still working.
In the fall of 2002, El finally dropped his debut solo album, Relax, Relate, Release, through Seven Heads Entertainment. The album featured guest appearances from Sadat X (of Brand Nubian), J-Live, Organized Konfusion (Pharoah Monch and Prince Po), Mike Zoot & F.T., Asheru, and others.

Hey. We're looking for promoters who might organize this show for us. Last year El Da Sensei of the legendary Artifacts crew originally based in Newark, New Jersey, dropped an album with Polish duo called The Returners (Producer/DJ). So far they toured USA, Canada and Europe promoting their new project - Global Takeover. At his shows El Da Sensei performs tracks from the new album "Global Takeover - The Beginning" as well as all the gems from his previous solo albums and Artifacts classics. He is most known from tracks such as "Wrong Side Of The Tracks", "C'mon Wit Da Git Down", "The Ultimate" and "Crowd Pleasa". The Returners is a breakthrought project producing classic style beats. Inspired mostly by DJ Premier, colaborated with aces such as Dilated Peoples, Royce Da 5'9, Rasco, Termanology, Kaze, Supastition, Raks One, Doujah Raze, Breez Evahflowin and Torae among the others. For more details hit me up by e-mail via gto.tour@gmail.com
