MC Lyte

Lauded lyricist MC Lyte finds herself back in the limelight with the trio Almost September, but an unlikely source deserves the credit for positioning the Grammy winner. Eccentric singer Macy Gray one night missed a studio session with producer/ writer/ vocalist Whitey and producer/ writer Jared Lee, MC Lyte showed up…and the rest is history.

A beat inspired multiple bars and by night’s end Lyte, Whitey and Jared Lee were a group with the new single, “Beautiful.” Whitey and Lee may be unknown to the public compared to Lyte but they’re quite familiar with success; Macy Gray, India.Arie, Tyrese, Usher, Floetry, Toni Braxton, JoJo, Nichole Scherzinger, Paula Deanda, Jon B, Steph Jones, and Chingy are just a few who’ve benefited from the lyrics and beats of this tandem. Lee has been up for multiple Grammies and Whitey actually won one.

Almost September, based on the Virgo’s relentless pursuit of perfection in love, peace and respect, wants to uplift the universal human condition. The crew is bent on perpetuating a movement that dispels the philosophy of making ring-tone rap to get heard. Almost September joins Family Tree, a collective of artists, including Nas, Kelis, Nick Cannon, Case, and Keith Murray, managed by long time Outkast manager Michael “Blue” Williams.

Almost September plans to release a self titled debut album in the first quarter of 2008.

I think that she needs to really come back and i think that their isnt any good female rappers in the game right now but thats just the way i feel and she needs to come back with a comeback.

Lyte is what's up. She's always had skillz and for her to come out and still be relevant is a positive note for the group. I got faith in her. She will be the one to carry them, in my opinion. Its good to have a veteran come back in the game and show these cats how to make good music. Besides, it was a very smart move to have the teacher on that 'love' track. Krs1 will guarantee your song to be fire!
