Synopsis

El Da Sensei and Tame One bring "C'mon Wit Da Git Down" to the streets in a performance-focused video rooted in Newark's hip-hop culture. The duo trade verses in urban locations while graffiti, neighborhood backdrops, and energetic group scenes reinforce the track's raw, communal feel. Rather than following a conventional storyline, the clip works as a visual showcase for the Artifacts' chemistry, lyrical confidence, and connection to the b-boy and graffiti traditions that shaped their sound.

Factoids & Trivia

  • "C'mon Wit Da Git Down" appeared on the Artifacts' debut album, "Between a Rock and a Hard Place," released on October 25, 1994.
  • The Artifacts came from Newark, New Jersey, and were also known as the Brick City Kids. Their identity was closely tied to the region's underground rap and graffiti culture.
  • The track was produced by Buckwild, the D.I.T.C. affiliated producer who handled much of the production on the group's debut.
  • The production draws on Galt MacDermot's "Ripped Open by Metal Explosion," adding a funk-heavy foundation to the song's hard-edged drums and chant-like hook.
  • Additional sample documentation identifies drums from Brethren's 1970 recording "Outside Love."
  • The song was issued as one of the singles from "Between a Rock and a Hard Place," alongside "Wrong Side of da Tracks" and "Dynamite Soul."
  • The Artifacts' first album reached No. 137 on the Billboard 200 and No. 17 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart.

Lyrics

Intro/Chorus:

C'mon wit da c'mon, git down wit da git down (4X)

Verse One: El Da Sensai

C'mon and get down with that Artifacts sound
Where kids get wreck and, the beat's bound to pound
We're strollin through the industry B, see we gotta be
the next shit that kicks, cause brothers ain't got it
In this rap shit, ain't no time for the dilly-dally
pally throw a match in the Gasoline Alley
Blew up mad spots, kids were jealous for the props
