El Da Sensei ( Emcee, Co founder of The Hip Hop Group The Artifacts and Handles all
Booking, management and Merchandising.)

El Da Sensei, is one of the hardest working men in independent hip hop!
Signed to a major label, in the early 90’s, the Artifacts changed the game by being one of the first Hip Hop groups that spoke on graffiti art on a Major platform! With they dope beats and rhymes, Plus their repping us graffiti artists, the Artifacts quickly became one of my all time favorite groups! As the fame of the early mid 90’s waned, El went on to develop and solo career which kept him hustling and learning the ropes of the independent artist life. Booking, tour managing, project management and merchandising! Today El still does it all and has brought back the Artifacts brand to it’s prominence and has a thriving merchandising business.
Game certified!
