I still remember hearing them on WPRB out of Princeton. They would play Wrong Side of Tracks every week. Then the video finally came out.

that was a great college radio show. I still have my tapes. Walking to junior high on Friday morning with a fresh tape, talking about last night's Martin episode. Great memories

Tame was an incredible MC. RIP

Under the Same Name is the inspiring, tumultuous and often hilarious story of TAME ONE. A Newark bred, graffiti pioneer that by the mid-90’s, was your favorite emcee’s favorite emcee. Tame is widely regarded as the first major label hip-hop artist to represent graffiti as an active participant.

From the untold stories of the Artifacts and their definitive graffiti anthem “Wrong Side of the Tracks” in 1994, all the way through Tame’s impressive solo career throughout the 2000’s, reinventing and ingratiating himself with new generations of underground hip hop superstars including Del the Funky Homosapien, The Weathermen (Cage, Aesop Rock, El-P, Yak Ballz, Vast Aire, etc.), Sean Price, Young Zee and many others.

While Tame’s influence on hip hop is unmistakable, like so many innovators, he never received the commercial success or recognition he so rightfully deserved. His untimely death in 2022 was mourned by fans and peers worldwide, marked by an outpouring of respect for his authenticity and unwavering conviction. A true original celebrated by those in the know as a creative genius. It’s time that his story be told.

We began this project in the fall of 2024 and have made significant progress. However, given the vast scope of Tame’s career, there is more work to be done.

Along with this teaser, on 6/3/25 we'll be launching a GoFundMe to give Tame fans across the globe a glimpse of what we've been working on and kindly ask for their help in bringing this film to life.

 
Tame one embodied hip hop. Jersey rappers in the 90's were different. You couldn't just be hip hop on the internet. He was really climbing buildings and tagging shit. He was really outside. He pushed the culture. Our rebellion was different. Imagine a time when kids were occupied with art or music instead of violence and the internet.
