I’m happy to say MY favorite MC of all time is making a return to music.  It’s been about 11-years since MC Lyte dropped lil something, but from the sounds of her new single she’s picking up right where she left off.   Theboombox reports Lyte teams-up with Common on her new joint called ‘Dear John’.  The song was produced to help promote the #EducateOURMen initiative.  Check it out below and let us know what you think.

The #EducateOURMen is a scholarship, founded by the L-Y-T-E's foundation Hip Hop Sisters.
