This exclusive event sponsored by AARP NJ kicks off with an intimate, moderated conversation featuring the band members.. Hear firsthand stories about their rise to fame, their deep New Jersey roots, life on tour, and how music and civic engagement intersect, especially as we gear up for the upcoming New Jersey gubernatorial election.
Then, the party turns up with a live concert featuring all your favorite Sugarhill Gang hits including the iconic "Rapper’s Delight," the groundbreaking 1979 anthem that became the first rap single to crack the Billboard Top 40 and forever changed the music landscape. Whether you're a lifelong fan or new to the groove, this is your chance to witness hip-hop royalty in action. Join us for a powerful night of music, culture, and inspiration to get out the vote!
