His group, Cold Crush Brothers, was once managed by Big Bank Hank. Hank was offered the chance to join a rap group and make the very first rap record. He had never rapped before and asked to use Caz's lyrics with the promise that he would help the Cold Crush Brothers get a record deal. The group Hank joined was The Sugarhill Gang and the record was "Rapper's Delight" which became a worldwide hit in 1979. The Cold Crush Brothers' record deal never materialized. Caz never received any credit or compensation for writing "Rapper's Delight".
