When you hear the name MC Lyte , like many, you may think about one of the first of a few women who broke the Hip-Hop barrier. During the time Hip-Hop was making its name, McLtye aka Lana Michele Moorer was also making a name for herself while unknowingly becoming a role model and pioneer for women all over the world.


Since she first burst onto the music scene as an MC, she has become a successful actor, a DJ, a voiceover artist and a businesswoman. Although when she started she only wanted her voice to be heard, it has resulted in much more. MC Lyte has created a legacy that can inspire women for many years to come and the good thing for us is that it is not over yet.


Lately, MC Lyte has been taking a little break from the rap game and working on a few projects. When we chatted, she was quite excited about being interviewed for BlackAtlas.com.
