In 1981, Mr. Schick, aka Danny Rivera, made history as the first MC ever to rap on a record in Spanish. The song was "Disco Dream" by The Mean Machine on Sugar Hill Records. Although it enjoyed modest success on the radio, it's been largely forgotten. Until now. This is the extraordinary story of the events that led to the record and the tragedy, perseverance, and friendship that followed. To quote a lyric from Disco Dream: "Like a little bit of tuna with some mayonnaise, when you hear Schick rap you'll be amazed."
