Words that rhyme with Artsy
For lyric work, artsy behaves as a workaday word. Sound-wise: two-syllable, vowel on the high /ɪ/, finally it opens out at the end. Common words like this gain weight from the company they keep on the line. This one travels in song as a workaday word. Search rhymes for artsy long enough and you notice the pattern: strict rhymes arrive in number here, the family-rhyme classifier finds nothing, and the assonance pool is the one that won't run out. The strict list is rich enough to anchor the whole song.

Why artsy rhymes the way it does
The phonology of artsy is a two-syllable core: the tight /ɪ/ (/ɪ/), then it ends on an open vowel. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 141 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 1041, assonance 2,306, and consonance 0. That's a deep perfect column. The song can ride strict rhymes from end to end, only sliding into assonance when the line needs to surprise. Practical: skim the strict column first and pick the two or three matches you can sing without thinking. Then move to assonance for the in-between lines. Artsy reads as more memorable when the strict matches are reserved for the line endings that matter most.
