One of the pioneers of female rap, MC Lyte, has just released an inspirational single called Thank You. The record features Mary Mary and Muni Long, and is being labeled as gospel by some industry insiders, not because of Mary Mary but rather because of MC Lyte‘s overt and passionate praise and acknowledgement of God.

Hip-hop lovers, however, who are of the belief that Lyte may be dropping an album soon, consider Thank You one of the strongest of her recent releases. It went live on streaming platforms on August 23rd and is on the My Block Inc. imprint.
