MC Lyte

Rapper/Actress

MC Lyte burst on to the rap scene in the late 80's, becoming the first female rapper to release a full album "Lyte as a Rock." The Brooklyn native was soon able to add actress to her repertoire, playing herself on television shows "In Living Color," "Moesha," "NY Undercover," and "My Wife and Kids" to name a few. MC Lyte's acting career took her to challenging new heights when she played roles as characters other than herself on television shows like, "In the House", "Get Real", "Half & Half" and "The District". It was only fitting that her small screen talent would get noticed and land her two big screen roles in the movies "Civil Brand", and "Playa's Ball".
