Since releasing an EP via iTunes this past spring, MC Lyte‘s supergroup, Almost September, has picked up plenty of buzz among old-school legends and newcomers alike.  As Lyte, Whitey White, and Jared Lee begin work on their forthcoming full-length album, they’ve provided us with the world’s newest word-centered anthem.  Well, actually, 16 17 18 is centered on three words; KRS-One (yes, he’s still as strong as ever) spits a hot 16 with his opening verse, Lyte thinks back to when she first got into hip-hop at age 17, and Al Be Back details what has happened in the world since he first picked up a mic at age 18.  Over a classic Northeast beat from Lee, 16 17 18 pieces together hip-hop’s past, present, and future to create a timeless tribute to the genre.  Expect the counting to continue when the inevitable remix is released.

This is a dope song with hot production!! KRS was solid should've took out a few "16" out of there. Al Be Back killed it on this one. Lyte was really solid as well. This is fresh!!

KRS killed it! I don't know what y'all was listening to fam. The last 1/2 of his 16 was off the chains! I will say the hook could have been better. MC Lyte did her thing. She was decent. Al Be Back SMASHED THE ENTIRE JOINT! Old school is holding down fam! I can't lie at all. I cannot hate on this joint. The best verses was Al Be Back and then Mr. My Philosophy.

Production is decent too. 4 stars.

The beat is cool but the lyrics are too repetitive, this 16 is annoying. The music and the melody in the hook are good! ok
