Artist Profile - Almost September

Arriving to quench the thirst of the true lovers of Hip-Hop is the new inviting trio pronounced ALMOST SEPTEMBER. Composed of veteran lyricist MC Lyte, producer/writer/vocalist Whitey and producer/writer Jared Lee, ALMOST SEPTEMBER is a fresh, new offering for music lovers across the globe. The name itself is a foretelling of what the trio can do. September is the ninth month and is nestled in the astrological sign of Virgo. Virgo is in constant search of perfection and although, the three of them know that no one and no thing is perfect; they are determined to come as close as they possibly can every time they step up to the mic. Their first single, “Beautiful,” is a shining example. With 10 albums, two Grammy’s and a laundry list of other accomplishments to her credit MC Lyte is still making history. This time she decided to bring along two others to help revolutionize the industry she broke boundaries in. Whitey and Jared Lee may not be household names but their talent has touched millions. They have written and produced for the likes of Macy Gray, India.Arie, Tyrese, Usher, Floetry, Toni Braxton, JoJo, Nichole Scherzinger, Paula Deanda, Jon B, Steph Jones, Chingy and many more. Whitey has also won the coveted Grammy and Jared Lee has received several Grammy nominations. Both men love what they do and paint musical pictures within every song. Their union is almost like the storyline of a favorite comic book. The iconic artist/heroine is joined by two mighty and talented men, who not only understand her but the mission God has shaped. Lyte was created to be a light in an industry that seems to feed off negativity and darkness. Together they stand for real music that crushes those who have fallen victim to the belief that talent is second place to appearance and those who believe a great track can camouflage less than stellar content. ALMOST SEPTEMBER describes their music as uplifting complimented by sheer positive energy. Free of boundaries and barriers, listeners of all ages and shades and the growing community of Hip-Hop supporters. Complete with self-help messages about everyday situations and underlying themes of love, peace and respect ALMOST SEPTEMBER is the musical antidote we’ve all been patiently awaiting. ALMOST SEPTEMBER united while working on an album for Macy Gray. Lyte describes their meeting as destiny. One night when Macy was unable to attend a scheduled session, Lyte heard a song Whitey and Jared were working on immediately began penning some lyrics. By the end of the night they had literally made beautiful music with the emergence of their first single “Beautiful.” The chemistry between them was so undeniable that they decided to keep it going and ALMOST SEPTEMBER was born. ALMOST SEPTEMBER is currently in the studio putting the finishing touches on their self-titled album, which is scheduled to drop during the first quarter of 2008. Together MC Lyte, Whitey and Jared Lee will make history and leave behind a legacy for all the true music lovers to appreciate and follow.
