"Sucker DJ's (I Will Survive)" by Dimples D. was one of <a href="spotify:artist:0AqfGv5Nifg1klh0iH4Nqs">Marley Marl</a>'s first successes, a hip-hop one-shot that made little noise upon release in 1983 but charted across Europe when a remix was released seven years later. Born Crystal Smith, she was selected to voice the track by <a href="spotify:artist:0AqfGv5Nifg1klh0iH4Nqs">Marl</a>, a New York DJ and aspiring producer. It was released on the Party Time label in 1983, one year before <a href="spotify:artist:0AqfGv5Nifg1klh0iH4Nqs">Marley Marl</a>'s breakthrough on <a href="spotify:artist:3r7n7y3j0nYgkPePO4p3QC">Roxanne Shanté</a>'s "Roxanne's Revenge," one of many answer records on <a href="spotify:artist:52tOyUbNQQ1vKsqOHCPb7l">U.T.F.O.</a>'s "Roxanne, Roxanne." The track was often sampled by <a href="spotify:artist:0AqfGv5Nifg1klh0iH4Nqs">Marl</a> himself, and radically reworked in 1990, with the addition of a sprightly sample lifted from the I Dream of Jeannie theme song that earned it chart success in Europe. ~ John Bush, Rovi
