KB the Boo Bonic

City: Austin
Genre: Hip Hip
Bio: Growing up in Houston, Texas dealt KB a pretty unique musical hand. As a child, she was exposed to country music that was the old, real, raw stuff. Her grandpa kicked it with Johnny Cash, her parents listened to Hank Williams Jr. and George Strait. The pain and the songwriting that goes into work like that is something that nearly anyone with a love for music can appreciate. As she grew older, she branched out and got her first CD, Biggie’s “Life After Death.” It was edited of course because her mom was not down with the curses. Ever since then she began listening to anything and everything to do with rap and hip hop that she could get her hands on. She discovered the rap legends that began their careers in Texas such as UGK, Scarface, Devin the Dude, Lil Keke and Geto Boys. She recalls being in high school and seeing Chamillionaire and Paul Wall selling CDs out of their trunks, hustling and pushing their music. She soaked up all of these elements and found a way to bring them all together in a way that is her own. She is not scared to be different, and people respect that. She’s a raw country chick with a rapper’s confidence, an intelligent and poignant sense of humor and true MC’s lyricism.
