Boogie Down Productions
Boogie Down Productions
New York, USHip Hop, Electro
75.8m all-time streams (1 Aug '26)
Boogie Down Productions was one of the most important and influential hip-hop groups in the latter half of the '80s.
Led by the often brilliant and incendiary MC KRS-One, BDP were pioneers of both hardcore and political (or "conscious") rap -- and if that seems contradictory, it also illustrates the scope of KRS-One's talent for chronicling and even shaping his culture.
