They run in the same orbit as Pharrell Williams, Joe, Zhané, Dungeon Family and DeBarge, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Dangerously in Love, Freeway, Field Mob, Ludacris and OutKast, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation.
