MC Lyte - Ruffneck

Review by Said W.B.

Ruffneck, the fifth studio album by MC Lyte, is a classic hip-hop masterpiece that showcases the rapper's lyrical prowess and unique style. Released in 1993, the album features a mix of upbeat, danceable tracks and introspective, thought-provoking songs that delve into issues of gender, race, and identity.

From the opening track "Ruffneck" to the final track "Brooklyn", MC Lyte's rhymes are sharp, witty, and full of attitude. The album's standout tracks include "When in Love", a soulful ballad that explores the complexities of relationships, and "Keep On Keepin' On", a collaboration with Xscape that became a hit single and earned MC Lyte a Grammy nomination.
