Last weekend I had the pleasure of interviewing hip hop legend, MC Lyte at Shannon Brown’s Wood Star Music Festival. I usually don’t have the patience to sit and watch performances, but she honestly was so entertaining to watch – I wish her set was even longer!

Anyway – HotNewHipHop.com started a “Legend” series, which features rappers who really made Hip Hop what it is today, and MC Lyte was the first we highlighted.

Check out the interview where we talk about her big break, advice she has for those pursuing a career in the music industry, her all-time favorite quote and more!
