GODFATHERS OF HIP HOP SUGARHILL GANG MEET LEGENDARY PIONEERS THE FURIOUS FIVE
Global music legends, multi-platinum selling artists, Grammy Hall of Fame, Walk of Fame inductees and one of the most successful iconic music acts of all time: The Sugar Hill Gang has been at the forefront of some of the most ground-breaking trends and movements in modern pop culture.
“Rappers Delight” is regarded as one of the most recognisable songs in the world. With over 12 million units sold, the group not only scored the very first Hip Hop song but the biggest selling Hip Hop record of all time. It became one of the biggest songs in music history and their self-titled debut album was also Hip Hop’s first full-length album. “8th Wonder” and “Apache/Jump on it” bring on the modern dance craze with over 160 million streams and sold out concerts around the world.
The Furious Five, previously featuring DJ Grandmaster Flash, were hip-hop’s greatest pioneers, expanding the genre’s aural and lyrical boundaries beyond its roots in party music. They were the first-ever Hip Hop group to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
With this unmissable lineup, expect to hear both artists greatest hits performed live including Rapper’s Delight, Apache/Jump On It, The Message, White Lines and many more.
