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 Grand Puba, Shyheim, Mad Skillz, Smif-n-Wessun and Large Professor, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into El Da Sensei, Tame One, Camu Tao, Aesop Rock and El-P, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 31 connections around Artifacts, reaching back through K-Def and forward to El Da Sensei.
