#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 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.
