"Back with a surprise release, The Artifacts are well intact with their latest single, “Left In My Dust”. In true New Jersey fashion, the dynamite MC duo of Tame One and El Da Sensei have joined forces with fellow Jersey vet, K-Def handling production. With a collective back catalog of hip-hop gems dating back to the early 90s, the trio comfortably rejuvenates the spirit of the past in this 7” single.
Thanks to the vintage 90s era production by K-Def, this is certain to delight fans of Artifacts’ earlier work. The title itself, “Left In My Dust” samples one of the group’s staples, “C’mon the Git Down” and this is as authentic as it gets for 2017. Instrumental on the b-side. Limited pressing." - Redefinition Records
