A life story of Sylvia Robinson, the founder of Sugar Hill Records, with an eye toward producing a biopic about the hip-hop pioneer.

It is a rags-to-riches tale about how Robinson blazed a trail as a female record producer and music mogul in a male-dominated industry. In 1979 she recorded the first rap record "Rapper's Delight" which ushered in the new era of hip-hop and cemented her legacy as the "Mother of Hip-Hop".
