American hip hop group

The Sugarhill Gang basically invented rap's crossover moment in 1979 with "Rapper's Delight"—that track landed hip hop on mainstream radio before most people even knew what they were hearing. You caught it once, deep in November 2017, probably as a curiosity or a nod to where it all started.
