Sylvia Robinson (March 6, 1936 – September 29, 2011) was an American singer, musician, record producer, and record label executive, most notably known for her work as founder/CEO of the hip hop label, Sugar Hill Records. She is credited as the driving force behind two landmark singles in the genre. The first was "Rapper's Delight" by the Sugarhill Gang, which was the first rap song to be released by a hip hop act.[1] The second was "The Message" by Grandmaster Flash & the Furious Five.

She is from New Jersey tho - aint rly aint nothing with the west - besides she has effected Hip Hop in general, but then you should write for Rakim, Nas, Jay Z, Wreckz N effect, Ted Riley,  and so on aswell on here.

R.I.P Sylvia Robinson, thank you for the classics.
