MC Lyte - "Dear John" feat. Common & 10Beats (produced by Loudbox)

After 11 years since her last album, MC Lyte is back and with the help of Common, she drops a new single that sheds light on the uplifting that's needed in the community. Check it.

"Dear John" is the anthem for #EducateOURMen, which is the signature scholarship initiative of MC Lyte's Hip Hop Sisters Foundation, which has presented two $100,000 university scholarships during the Soul Train Music Awards Red Carpet Pre-Show each year since the organization's founding. This year, the foundation will present dozens of scholarships earmarked to send men of color to HBCU's. Russell Simmons, Dr. Benjamin Chavis, Jada Pinkett Smith and Faith Evans are just of the few celebrities who support the foundation's movement (www.EducateOURMen.info).

Newly remixed joint by the talented J57 featuring some cats that don't play on the mic. Check it.

"Torae asked me to remix this track off his Admission of Guilt project, so I brought in Grammy Award Winning musician, Jay Jennings as well future legend/close collaborator of mine; ATR to play extra keys and backup vocals through out the track. This track is 100% sample-free -- all melodies derived from me humming them in voice memos on my iphone." - J57

She's never been on 2 Dope Boyz but she's about to tour Europe ... again.

Our sis Signif drops off her latest offering, Friction. Having been involved in some way or another on her last few projects, and as a fan, it's so dope to watch the NYC by way of Milwaukee emcee continue to grow musically each time she steps in front of a microphone. On the new project she holds no punches as she delivers up hard hitting rhymes over production from the likes of Radio Raheim, Moteleola, JBM Beatz, Fate and more. This is her finest work and you should definitely be paying attention. Enjoy the tunes.
