Tag: First Priority

Fuck the Swiss Family Robinson! The most enterprising Robinson family hails from NYC. And they’re repping Brooklyn, bitch! Independent label First Priority Music was founded by Nat Robinson in 1986, a basic studio was set up and his wide eyed progeny, Kirk and Lana, subsequently exploded onto the rap map as Milk D and MC Lyte.

MC Lyte is one of the most powerful female pioneers of hip hop. Starting out, like so many artists, as a breaker, after dropping her debut album - Lyte As A Rock in 1988, her stance in the legacy of hip hop only gets stronger as the years go on. Last year, she was quite rightly one of the honoured hip hop artists at VH1's Hip Hop Honours.
