As the grandfathers of Hip Hop, the veteran rappers have earned their respect and even talk politics
The Sugar Hill Gang has announced that they are planning to release an album early next year.
The legendary group and pioneers of rap paved the way for Hip Hop with their popular 15 minute hit, "Rapper's Delight." The 1979 single, recorded over Chic's "Good Times," launched Hip Hop into the commercial and cultural phenomenon that it is today.
To commemorate the 30th anniversary of the single, group members Big Bank Hank, Master Gee, and Wonder Mike plan to put out an album next year. They have even confirmed that they will be collaborating with the UK's own Dizzee Rascal.
The Sugar Hill Gang has not confirmed a date nor a title for their next album.
