The Leaders of the New School were an American hip hop crew composed of Long Island, New York natives Charlie Brown, Dinco D, Busta Rhymes and Cut Monitor Milo. They began recording in 1991 (see 1991 in music) with A Future Without a Past (Elektra Records) and soon gained attention for Afrocentric lyrics in songs like "Teachers, Don't Teach Us Nonsense"; the group eventually became associated with the Native Tongues Posse. Their last album was T.I.M.E. (1993, 1993 in music), after which Busta Rhymes went on to a successful solo career.

The group was originally mentored by the rap group Public Enemy. This helped boost their career.
