Raised in Brooklyn, Lyte began rapping at the age of 12. Two of her brothers later formed the hip-hop duo, Audio Two, which later helped to collaborate on Lyte’s records. Lyte recorded her first song, “I Cram to Understand U (Sam)”, in 1986. Lyte had originally written the song in 1984. The song, about a relationship that fell apart due to the protagonist’s lover’s crack addiction, got her notice from First Priority, who signed Lyte in late 1987. Soon after she was signed with Atlantic Records by its VP Sylvia Rhone.
