30. TRACEY LEE
Howard grad and Philly native Tracey Lee broke out on the scene in 1997 with the hot club banger, “The Theme (It’s Party Time).” This single made it to number 55 on the Billboard Hot 100 and goes down as one of those ones.
As an emcee, he can also boast to have a song featuring the Notorious B.I.G. called, “Keep Your Hands High” and collabs with fire spitters like Busta Rhymes and Kanye West.
After the Bison graduated from the Mecca, he attended Southern University Law Center. Now, he flexes heavily as an entertainment attorney for artists like Kelly Rowland, Solange, the late Kobe Bryant, and DJ Young Guru.
While he doesn’t mind negotiating contracts and standing before judges representing his clients, he still ain’t afraid to rock the mic. In 2020, he dropped a 12-song álbum called Glory. The project is accompanied by a table book detailing the process of making the music and the history behind each song.
Like the business mind that he is, he and his wife published the book on their own platform.
