Six Degrees of Kanye West, a fun little website that lets you search for a muscical artist to see how closely they're connected to Kanye West through collabs.

I built it back in 2016 and haven't updated it since so newer artists don't show up.

Looks really cool How did you do it since I love music

Thanks! I posted about it in my blog [1] at a very high level.

To summarise, I used a Python library called Spotipy to request track information from Spotify and then stored a big list of artists based on who has collaborated with Kanye and built that web outwards.
