Original Concept

Original Concept was an American NYC hip-hop group from the 80's. They started out as the Concept Crew, a group who had a popular college radio show on 90.3 WBAU-FM back in the early 1980s. 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 Concept Crew included Andre Brown who went by the moniker “Doctor Dre” (who later went on to DJ for the Beastie Boys)
