Interview by: Martin Bauman You may have heard of the Brown Bag AllStars before, but chances are you haven't gotten to know the individual members of the group. Queens/Brooklyn emcee Koncept has been putting in solid work as 1/7 of the Brown Bag AllStars crew, and with the release of his debut solo album Awaken earlier this year, he makes a strong case as to why we should know him for more than just his group affiliation. I caught up with Koncept while he was on tour in Dallas along with Tanya Morgan (Von Pea & Donwill), Bodega Brovas, and Playdough, as part of the American Graffiti tour. We talked about his debut album, how he got into hip-hop, his favourite albums of all-time, and the Brown Bag AllStars crew, among other things. Hit the skip to check out the full interview.
