It was actually a suggestion from a former group member. He was rapping and said "I got the key to columbus city" and another team member thought that was hot and decide to choose that as our name. So as our group got bigger another newer member thought it was hot to change the C to a K and the Y to an I thus creating a name fitting for the BEST MOTHERf***ING GROUP EVER "KOLUMBUSCITI" better known as KCI.

HELL YEAH....... from ya backyard all the way to the four seasons.

It made it harder for record sales cuz now niggas just download ya sh*** therefore people have to work harder to pull out more sales. On a more positive note it speards the hip hop movement alot easier.

Only for a distribution deal because K.C.I. Records L.L.C. is taking the game by storm.

Like all the great hip-hop artists today, KCI may have started from small beginnings, but be prepared, because these four guys have what it takes to blow your mind. Whether it's urban sounds or mainstream grooves, this is the new sound of hip hop.

Ever since their inception in 2003, it's been a steady path for these four friends from North Carolina and beyond. Combining the inner city sounds with the more laid-back southern county approach, KCI gives you a unique sound that stands them apart from their contemporaries, and puts them closer to their peers. An impressive feat for a band whose average age is only 21.

KCI's success comes from the special way they utilize the different mindset each member brings – from DC-born Rickaine who offers lyrics far beyond his years, to Q-Mann, with his shades of Ludacris and freestyle mastery; or the crunky aggressive rap that Baldhead brings, to the recognized leader of KCI,
Hollow, who joins Kaine with his lyrical prowess and edgy genius. Other
bands may have the set-up, but none use its power the way that KCI does.

This power and genius comes through in every one of their songs, and this is what's garnering so much media interest for this fast-rising band.

Just take a listen to the laid-back groove of "Hate Me", an old-style classic that just begs a hot summer's day with the top rolled down, and ask yourself how many other hip-hop acts are doing this today, or even have the confidence to try.

Or listen to the powerful message of "In My Mind's Eye", with its lyrics 'I see the world in a different state / life served on a cold plate' showing that not only do KCI know what it's like to be down in the gutter, they're not afraid to share their experiences with the fans either, who've been down there with them.

It's these songs and more that are seeing KCI rise to the top, and it's not just in the local scene either, with KCI receiving recognition through:

· Airplay on two of the most influential radio stations in North
Carolina
· Rotation on college radio
· Guest appearances on remix releases
· Awarded best act in both local and national new music competitions

With a successful 2006 already behind them, the members of KCI aren't resting on their laurels. The newly formed KCI Records L.L.C will see them not only release their self-produced work later this year, but also look for and nurture up-and-coming talent.

With the voice of a generation coursing through them, KCI is ready –
now all that remains is you.

I love it all from rock to pop to rap to country if it's hot it gets props from me
