Kon Artis (born December 7, 1974) is the stage name of Denaun Porter, an African-American rapper in the hip-hop group D12. He is also a member of Detroit rap duo Da Brigade, along with fellow D12 member Kuniva. In addition to writing and performing his own lyrics, Kon Artis is a successful producer; he is generally listed as Mr. Porter in production credits.

Porter was recently enlisted to provide the score for the 2006 film Waist Deep and also had a cameo along side the rest of D12 (sans Eminem) in "The Longest Yard (2005)" appearing as "Basketball Convicts" in the credits.

He is often noted as the tallest member of D12 but it is hard to tell as most of them are of similar heights.
