Artifacts

Artifacts is an act on the Starverb influence map. Their sound grew out of K-Def. Those roots explain a lot about how Artifacts arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as O.G.C., Grand Puba, Shyheim, Mad Skillz and Smif-n-Wessun, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Tame One, Camu Tao, Aesop Rock, El-P and Spank Rock, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 39 connections around Artifacts, reaching back through K-Def and forward to Tame One.
