About The Record:

We Don't Work For Free, by Grandmaster Melle Mel and The Furious Five, was a single from the self-titled album. Grandmaster Melle Mel and the Furious Five was released in 1984 by Sugarhill Records after the split between Grandmaster Flash and Melle Mel. For this album, Melle Mel kept the group name 'the Furious Five' (although the line-up changed) and used the title "Grandmaster." Mel may have been the first rapper to call himself MC (master of ceremonies).
