I WANT MY NAME BACK highlights the rise, fall, and rise again of original members of The Sugarhill Gang, Michael Wright (aka Wonder Mike) and Guy O'Brien (aka Master Gee). One of the most influential songs in the history of the music industry, "Rapper's Delight" was as the first commercial Hip-Hop release, forever changing the face of the music industry. Disputed by some, the Sugarhill Gang is still believed by many to be the first professional rap group because they brought this "new" style of music to the general public. While this success should have cemented the legacy and careers of the original members, reality tells a much different story--one that most people, including those in the hip hop world, are not even aware of. I WANT MY NAME BACK follows Wonder Mike and Master Gee as they try to re-enter the music industry, reclaim their identities, legacy, and reclaim their rightful place in rap history.
