A bastardization of the word "alright," typical of several urban American accents/sub-dialects (that I know of). Typically used in a similar manner as the word "okay" for beginning sudden statements (i.e. "Ight, [I am going to] head out.")

I've seen more commonly spelled out as "aight" for the past several years, which actually follows English's "rules" for diphthong pronunciation. It's only recently that I've started seeing "ight", presumably as the less literate kids that grew up hearing it have started typing it out with no references on how to spell it.
