Under the aegis of “Mother of Hip Hop” Sylvia Robinson, who passed in 2011, Sugarhill Records helped chart the course of early hip-hop in the late ’70s and early ’80s. Now, the next generation of the Robinson Family is aiming to get their label back into the public eye, with the Robinson brothers, sisters and cousins working with (and sometimes butting heads against) each other to return Sugarhill to prominence.
