“Anyone who wants to understand the true nature of Hip Hop’s perennial concern with “keeping it real” has only to go back to the music’s formative moment.”



– The Guardian, 2015



As the age of Disco drew to a close, music fans the world over were ready for an injection of freshness. The year was 1979 and a new urban sound had found its feet on the East Coast of America. In Englewood, New Jersey a three-piece called SugarHill Gang were soon to become the forefathers of Hip Hop, as the success of their hit single ‘Rapper’s Delight’ was released, eventually selling 8 million copies, taking them global.



SugarHill Gang’s Hen Dog, Master Gee and Wonder Mike will have us shufflin’ ‘the freak’ all night long.
