Original Concept is a 1980s Hip-Hop group from Long Island, New York, best known for their single “Can You Feel It.” Members included Doctor Dré (André Brown, b.1963), T-Money (Tyrone Kelsie, b. unknown), Rapper Gee (Gerald Gray, b. unknown) and Easy G. Released to Def Jam Records, the group released their first and only album, Straight From the Basement of Kooley High! in 1988.
