Without artifacts, it's difficult to ascertain history. As such, the story of Austin hip-hop is best told through its records. Analog imprints of music in motion, vinyl has always served as the main ingredient in hip-hop. Windows in time, phase-shifted to the present, vinyl is every bit as utilitarian as it is entertaining. Slap it down on a turntable and feel the warmth of its vibrations, Texas heat unleashed. Spinning tales of yesteryear through telegraphic drum patterns and respiratory bass, its codified language unveils a local musical community ever on the move.   
Lady I.C. & MC K.B. "Takin' It to the Ism" 12-inch (Sunshine, 1988) In 1988, the A-Town Posse, Rock T., J. Rock, LaTRail, K.B., Lady I.C., Mona Lisa, Dinky D., and Wink D., released a local hit of their own, K.B.'s "I'm More." Mixing sharp drum sequences with flashed samples of Zapp's "More Bounce to the Ounce," the song embodied the raw braggadocio style of the Def Jam era. K.B., who once opened for EPMD at the Travis County Expo Center, contributed another cut called "Do It K.B.," which, in theory, approached the realm of classic material by Ice-T and Too $hort. Commanding "Dinky scratch it up so the people stop itching, Winky pump the bass 'til the people start kicking," Lady I.C. ripped a party anthem on the B-side of the record called "Lady I.C. Is Here."
