Pioneering Hip Hop icon MC Lyte, along with Brave New Voices featuring spoken word icon Marc Bamuthi Joseph, recently touched down in Houston for the Discovery Green /Life is Living Festival and got seriously busy. She let the packed crowd know that female emcees weren’t a rarity in Hip Hop and that people need to turn off their radios and not be a statistic for outlets that don’t fully represent them or the culture they love. She alerted people to her new website project called HipHopSisters.com which strives to be a safe space for women in Hip Hop.
