BDP Boogie Down Productions T-Shirt

Hip-hop group formed in the Bronx, New York City in 1985 by MC KRS-One and DJ Scott La Rock. Following the Bronx / Queens 'Bridge Wars' hip-hop feud between BDP and Juice Crew, the album Criminal Minded was released, which dealt with themes such as violence and drug dealing, and formed the basis for gangsta rap, which influenced music for the next decade. DJ Scott La Rock was murdered in 1987, five months after the release of Criminal Minded.
