Ghetto Concept was a legendary hip hop group from Canada. First formed in 1989, they are known for being the earliest gangsta rap to gain a significant following in the underground Canadian hip hop circuit, and also for featuring Infinite as a member, who started off as a DJ, before becoming a third emcee in the group. In 1995, Infinite left to start a successful solo career, leaving Ghetto Concept as a duo of Kwajo Cinqo

They would continue to thrive as one of the most successful groups in Canadian hip hop history up until 2004 when their manager, Elliott Reid-Thomas, was murdered. This led to Ghetto Concept's abrupt disbandment, although they have reunited a few times since, most notably being in 2011 as a part of the prestigious CBC Hip Hop Summit event, which featured some of the most iconic names in Canadian hip hop history. « hide |
