The Unusual is the second album by Artifacts member El Da Sensei. It was released in 2006 on Fat Beats Records.

Background

Tame and El's graf-rap was well received by underground audiences and continued in the New Jersey rap tradition of Redman and Lords of the Underground.[1] The group developed a fan base of hardcore hip-hoppers, being graffiti artists and hip-hop purists.[2] El Da Sensei latest album is a continuation of the first two Artifacts albums. According to El, the album "stands for true hip hop."[3]

El has said that the possibility of an Artifacts reunion are low, considering the relative success he and Tame One have had since both going solo.[4]

Reception

Reviews were very positive, considering the El's lengthy hiatus: PopMatters says: "He manages to present his album with intelligent proportions, and like a fine wine, he will only get better with time."[5]
