Inspired by artists such as Run-DMC, Whodini, Isaac Hayes and Curtis Mayfield, the hip hop group Ghetto Concept was formed by Kwajo Cinqo (Kwajo Boateng), Dolo (Lowell Frazier) and Infinite (Desmond Francis) in Toronto, Ontario, Canada in 1989. They hail from the Rexdale neighbourhood in Toronto.

Their first single "Certified" was released in 1992 by independent label Groove-a-Lot Records. They won Juno Awards in 1995 and 1996 for "Certified" and "E-Z On Tha Motion", respectively.

In 1995, Infinite's brother was murdered, and he left Ghetto Concept shortly after. Before he left, Ghetto Concept recorded a tribute to his brother entitled "Much Love", and it was released as a single/video in 1996. Infinite re-emerged as a solo artist in 1997, with the Juno-nominated track "Gotta Get Mine", featuring Divine Brown. Between 1997 and 1999, he released five singles, each of which were accompanied by a music video. He won a MuchMusic Video Award in 1999 for "Take a Look". In 2001, he released an EP entitled 360 Degrees, which featured his previous singles.

Ghetto Concept created 7Bills Entertainment in 1996. The remaining duo released their self-titled debut album Ghetto Concept in 1998, and they released the single "Precious Metals". Sticky Fingaz of Onyx was featured on the remix "Heavy Metals". In 2002, they released Ghetto Concept Presents...7 Bills All-Stars: Da Album. Their most popular single was a 2002 remix of their track "Too Much", entitled "Still Too Much", which featured appearances from the likes of Maestro, Kardinal Offishall, Red-1 of the Rascalz, and Snow.

In 2005, Infinite was featured on a single by Maestro called "A Criminal Mind", which is a remake of rock singer Lawrence Gowan's 1985 single of the same name. He also appears in the music video with Maestro and Gowan.

Recently, Ghetto Concept has formed a new label called G7 Records. It appears they are also going by the moniker GC (short for Ghetto Concept), and they will release an album in 2007, tentatively titled Times Up. Also, according to his MySpace page, Infinite plans to release a self-titled album which is "coming soon".

    Ghetto Concept in the news

    The critically injured officer, Belarus-born Russel Timoshenko, 23, is paralyzed, has brain swelling and cannot breathe on his own, a specialist said. "Had he minded his own business he wouldn't be chewing his own hypocrisy now," of Timoshenko's condition, St. Nicolas Thief said.

    The environmental ethic that society finds itself in today, is a misguided one. It is politically driven and based round the concept of the 'balance of nature'. It assumes that the natural environment is some kind of perfect 'garden of eden' that has been pushed out of sink, by humanities progress.

    "The lines are drawn in the sand. This conflict, growing and festering and becoming more inflamed by the hour, is between two concepts of God... It's time to choose, and every single human being must make a choice. I believe we'd better get at it … on our knees." I made my choice already: My God is the One who gave us His only Son, Jesus Christ.
