The concept of Potent Art is simply justified by attacking all of the aspects in music from having the best beat selections, to bringing a certain sound to each track, & picking the best and suitable features for certain tracks, that is basically what makes the ART of the project POTENT. The purpose of Potent Art is to show listeners that the creativity in music as a WHOLE still exists. In a brief conversation the Lyv Rugratz member summed up the project with the following statement:
