#MusicMemories - As Told By T. Alexis

lET THERE BE lYTE!

My favorite #FEMALE #rap artist is #McLyte!
From the moment she stepped on the scene in 1988 with the first full female solo rap album, “LYTE AS A ROCK”, I felt EVERYTHING! Watching her was so liberating! After releasing the hit, “Paper Thin”, she set the standards high, letting it be known to take us serious as WOMEN and as a RAP ARTISTS. 
I was like, 'So you can have lyrics, be true to yourself, AND demand respect on a whole other level??? DAMN, THAT'S DOPE!' 
No gimmicks! No costumes! It was just about the lyrics!!! She was, and still is the truth!
​MC-Lyte paved the way for our current female artists! #REMEMBER where it all started
