I decided to attempt the Google Draw Something assignment by clicking here and drawing something in under 20 seconds for Google to guess.

MUSIC COLLABZ For this map, you’re looking at the many connections within artists not even necessarily connected by genre. Many of these artists overlap in the music they create and have made connections over time by maturing as artists, learning different and unique styles.
