It originally consisted of [[KRS-One]], [[D-Nice]], and DJ [[Scott La Rock]]. DJ Scott La Rock was murdered on August 27, 1987, five months after the release of BDP's debut album, ''[[Criminal Minded]]''. The name of the group, Boogie Down, derives from a nickname for the [[South Bronx]]. The group pioneered the fusion of [[dancehall]] [[reggae]] and hip-hop music, and their debut LP ''Criminal Minded'' contains frank descriptions of life in the South Bronx during the late 1980s.
