Speak to the Streets is a youth work organisation specializing in working with 11 to 19 year olds to try and provide alternatives to gang activity as a way of life. Promoting positivity, self belief using street culture. Together we can make the streets more creative.

The organisation is designed to target young people to teach them the dangers of gangs before they become involved in one, which could prevent future gang crime. Unless intervention is taken, the cycle of gang criminals may continue.

This type of work is vital because it brings out the positive potential in young people and enable them to have a better life.

Sugarhill Gang and Grandmaster's Furious Five

The Sugarhill Gang is an American hip hop group, known mostly for its 1979 hit "Rapper's Delight," the first rap single to become a Top 40 hit on the Billboard Hot 100. The song uses an interpolation of the instrumental track from the hit "Good Times" by Chic as its foundation.

The members, all from Englewood, New Jersey consisted of Michael "Wonder Mike" Wright, Henry "Big Bank Hank" Jackson, and Guy "Master Gee" O'Brien. The three were assembled into a group by producer Sylvia Robinson, who founded Sugar Hill Records with her husband, record mogul Joe Robinson. The group and the record company are named after the Sugar Hill, Harlem neighborhood.

The Sugarhill Gang never again topped the US charts, though it had a slew of European hits, such as "Apache", "8th Wonder" (which was performed on the American music show Soul Train in 1981), "Rapper's Reprise (Jam Jam)", and "Showdown" (with the Furious Five). In 1999, the trio reunited and recorded Jump on It! a hip hop children's album.

In recent years, original members of the Sugarhill Gang have performed as the Original Sugar and as Rapper's Delight Featuring Wonder Mike and Master Gee.
