“Any successful writer will tell you that they write about what they know, and that’s what we do.” – Dolo, Ghetto Concept
“We’re just something that’s meant to be,” says Kwajo Cinqo of his relationship with Dolo Da Gooch as Ghetto Concept. “We did our first show together and from that we clicked on.” “It just came together so well,” Dolo agrees. “It was the perfect composition, so it was like, we couldn’t fight that.”
So they didn’t. Like many aspiring young rappers, the two cut their chops at talent shows and high school cyphers, Kwajo in Rexdale and Dolo in the Bathurst and Lawrence area nicknamed the Jungle. It’s Jungle Rap Offs around 1992 and 1993, with performances from acts like Frogger and Superior J, that both claim were very influential for them.
“That’s where rappers from Jane and Finch, Jungle, all over Toronto used to come and spit, do performances and stuff like that,” says Kwajo. “That’s what’s monumental about Jungle and hip hop. I mean, back in the days there was really no other area putting it down like that.”
