Hello All:

Here is a link to a piece that I was ‘required’ to release immediately, by virtue of the impending legal deadline. I love being able to reach people directly, but in an ideal scenario, I would not have to rush the release of new music… but the message is still there. In light of Wednesday’s tragic loss (of former label mate Chris Kelly), I am even more pressed to YELL this to a multitude that may not understand the cost of allowing today’s unhealthy paradigms to remain unchecked!

Sylvia Robinson, Who Helped Make ‘Rapper’s Delight,’ Has Died : The Record : NPR

 

A little more than 20 years later she co-founded Sugar Hill Records and came up with the idea for the first commercially-successful hip-hop release, 1979’s “Rapper’s Delight,” by The Sugarhill Gang. Her label also signed Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five, and released “The Message,” from the album of the same name, in 1982.

Robinson died Thursday morning at a New Jersey hospital at the age of 75.
