Black Ivory

Black Ivory is an act on the Starverb influence map. Their sound grew out of Linda Jones, The Chi-Lites and Kool & The Gang. Those roots explain a lot about how Black Ivory arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Skyy, Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes, Fatback Band, Brass Construction and Slave, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into 9th Wonder, Lil B, Omarion, Mac Miller and Debbie Taylor, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 48 connections around Black Ivory, reaching back through Linda Jones and forward to 9th Wonder.
