Know Your Hip-Hop Pioneers: Lisa Lee

Bronx-born and raised Lisa Lee is one of hip-hop’s vital female pioneers. Her days of rockin’ the mic at Afrika Bambaataa park jams led to her becoming the original Zulu Queen of the Zulu Nation. Her spits can be heard on the Zulu Nation anthem “Zulu Nation Throwdown.” Lisa Lee is also known to be the first and only female member of the Soulsonic Force, and best recognized for her roles in prime hip-hop films Wild Style and Beat Street. She was also part of the first female cipher, solidifying her legacy as a female MC.
