About Original Concept

Original Concept was an American 1980s hip-hop group from Long Island, New York, best known for their single “Can You Feel It”. They only made one album and it was notable for the absence of lyrics on many of the tracks. The group are perhaps better known for their production prowess and instrumentals.

In the early 1980s, a group of young men at WBAU FM formed a group called the “Concept Crew”. Their show “The Operating Room” was broadcast on Monday nights from Adelphi University on the same station which featured the Spectrum City DJs (Chuck D and Flavor Flav) who later went on to form Public Enemy. The members were Doctor Dré, T-Money, Rapper G, Easy G.

In 1988, the group was signed to Def Jam Records and late in that year they released their first and only album, Straight From the Basement of Kooley High! on Def Jam. The album featured a cameo by Beastie Boys member, Mike D. on the track “She’s Got a Moustache”. The album featured samples from The Jackson 5, The Fat Boys, Run DMC, and P-Funk.
