Ice Prince

Ice Prince is an act on the Starverb influence map. Their sound grew out of M.I Abaga, Kayso, Gafacci, Rakim and JAY-Z. Those roots explain a lot about how Ice Prince arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Olamide, Blaqbonez, Burna Boy, Wizkid and Show Dem Camp, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into AKA, Sarkodie, Ruby Gyang, Tekno and Oxlade, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 43 connections around Ice Prince, reaching back through M.I Abaga and forward to AKA. Follow any of those threads to keep travelling the influence between bands and genres on Starverb.
