Sweet Tee, born Toi Jackson, is an influential American rapper from Queens, New York, who rose to prominence in the late 1980s. She is recognized for her fast-paced, rhythmic, and articulate lyrical style, which is notable in her 1988 hit single "It's My Beat". Sweet Tee's contribution to the hip-hop genre, especially during its developmental period, is significant, as she was one of the few prominent female voices in a predominantly male industry. Her debut album "It's Tee Time" is often cited as a classic work in old-school hip-hop.
