Cipher Chronicles Vol. XVIII: Spryte the Emcee - Goddess of the Mic
I. Identifying The Pulse Making Waves in Hip-Hop's Underground Scene
In the dynamic world of underground hip-hop, few artists embody the spirit of authenticity and lyrical mastery quite like Spryte the Emcee. Known for her razor-sharp rhymes and compelling storytelling, Spryte's artistry is a powerful reflection of her life's journey. At 3NIGMA BRED MUSIC, our mission is to empower the unseen and amplify the unheard, and Spryte's work aligns perfectly with this ethos.
II. The Rise of a Goddess of the Mic
Born Mary Kay Elsner, this Milwaukee-based hip-hop artist began her journey in 1986 at just 10 years old. Captivated by the golden age of hip-hop, she was inspired by legends like Run DMC, Salt-N-Pepa, Slick Rick, and Too $hort. Her first microphone was a screwdriver she used while practicing rhymes from "Peter Piper." The name "Spryte" came from a friend who noticed her hyperactive nature, a moniker that has defined her career as a versatile emcee. Guided by talented mentors from the Milwaukee and Chicago scenes, Spryte honed her craft. She added a unique twist to her foundation by freestyling over House, Techno, and Jungle beats at Midwest Raves in her 20s, showcasing her passion and versatility as an underground artist.
III. A Legacy of Lyrical Prowess & Collaboration
Spryte is a true multi-faceted artist and entrepreneur. As the co-founder of Raw Riddle Records and founder of Daydreams Productions, she has built her own career while supporting fellow artists in the hip-hop community. Her dedication to the craft is undeniable, and it’s something we at 3NIGMA BRED MUSIC can't help but recognize in our dedicated peers. Spryte’s impressive discography features notable collaborations with artists like rapper Blind Fury and songwriter Manly Winter. Tracks with producer Big Coop, such as "Back to Da Bizness," highlight her ability to create immersive music that resonates with a diverse audience across the underground.
IV. A Voice for the Unheard
Spryte's music goes beyond mere entertainment. It is a powerful narrative of her personal journey, including her recovery since May 5, 2009. Through her deeply personal lyrics, she explores spiritual and rebellious themes, giving a voice to those who feel unseen. Her work serves as a tribute to her life experiences and a heartfelt honor to the memory of her friends, Emily Perry and Tawanna Marks Heidelberg. From her project “Spryte Sounds” dropped in May 2021, to her most recent single “SpAceShip” released on August 9, 2025, she consistently delivers authentic and impactful tracks. By prioritizing genuine expression over commercial appeal, Spryte represents the essence of independent artistry, cementing her place as a crucial figure in the underground hip-hop scene.
