Headliner had a name: DJ NABS, a Durham, NC-born DJ he had been working alongside on the Atlanta University Center campus circuit, the same man who had already cut a turntable remix of Arrested Development's career-defining single "Tennessee."

In recognition of Women's History Month, NABS has something to say about the women who helped build The Lab Legacy.

Before the platinum plaques, before the industry co-signs, there was a group of women who believed in the lab before the lab had a name.

The Icey Girls were DJ NABS' first chapter — the young ladies who proved that what was being built inside those sessions and performances was real. Over forty years later, that chapter still opens the book. Women's History Month isn't a campaign here. It's a catalog. 🖤
