Sugarhill Records (who will also appear on this list) tends to get the lion's share of attention when it comes to the early days of hip hop, but Enjoy Records was AT LEAST as important - maybe even more so. Enjoy Records practically invented the hip hop 12", and the base of the label - Harlem record shop Bobby's Happy House - holds an important place in music history. (Bobby's Happy House opened in 1946 and made it all the way 2007, and it only closed because the landlord sold the building.) Bobby Robinson, Enjoy Records founder, introduced the world to the likes of Spoonie G and Doug E. Fresh, among countless others. Music has never been the same.
