Multinational mining companies are enslaving people especially children to mine.

I Remember visiting the Grand Master Flash & the Furious Five Concert in Düsseldorf, Germany in 1983 or 84.
The first-ever rap song produced was Rapper’s Delight in the summer of 1979. Three Bronx rappers named the Sugar Hill Gang recorded it and it was produced by Sugar Hill Records.
This is Sylvia ROBINSON then, the CEO and founder of Sugar Hill Records AND the Producer of Rapper’s Delight and a little later, The Message by Grand Master Flash and the Furious Five in 1982. It is said that Melle Mel did not want to record the seven-minute rap song that shared brutal honesty of social issues in the city at the time, but she insisted. And she was right. Both rap songs became instant hits that made history by putting rap music, created by the voiceless in the streets of NYC, front and center for the rest of America.
This woman started it all. This woman is responsible for the start of rap.
