Both rappers released battle records against each other. Her first album, Lyte as a Rock, was released in September 1988 and was noted for the hit "Paper Thin" and the battle rap "10% Dis," which was a response from then-Hurby Azor associate Antoinette.
Soon after, with the help of Sylvia Rhone, the label formed a distribution deal with Atlantic Records. The song, about a relationship that fell apart due to the protagonist's lover's crack addiction, was released on First Priority Music, run by Nat Robinson the father of the members of Audio Two. Lyte had originally written the song in 1984. Lyte recorded her first song, "I Cram to Understand U (Sam)," in 1986. She actually first met the hip hop duo when the group was searching for a female artist for their new label. One long standing misconception is that Lyte is the younger sister of Milk D and DJ Giz, Audio Two. Lyte was born Lana Michelle Moorer in 1970.Raised in Brooklyn, Lyte began rhyming at the age of 12. She has long been considered one of hip-hop's pioneer feminists. MC Lyte (born Lana Michelle Moorer October 11, 1970) is an American rapper who first gained fame in the late-1980s becoming the first solo female rapper to release a full album with 1988's critically acclaimed Lyte as a Rock.
