"I Said a Hip-Hop" | S1 Ep. 51

The Hip Hop Cloverleaf Podcast

First episode of the year is here! Tune in as EC goes through the come-up of the legendary group, Sugar Hill Gang. On this day in 1980 the group's smash single, "Rappers Delight" became the first ever Hip Hop single to reach the Billboard Top 40, making it the first ever successful Hip Hop song in history. This was also the first time we ever heard the words "hip hop" in a record. EC visits the story of how the group came together to make the record and how Sylvia Robinson played a major role in making this song, along with other iconic records.
Happy 2022 y'all!
