DJ Mister Cee: A Hip-hop Legend in His Own Right

Cha-le, mi gente! We gotta talk about something serious today, something that’s left a void in our corazones and the music community; the passing of DJ Mister Cee, Big Daddy Kane’s DJ and Notorious B.I.G.’s Producer, at 57.

Un Ícono en la Música

Mister Cee, whose real name is Calvin LeBrun, was synonymous with Hip Hop. He was the mastermind behind the DJ booth for Big Daddy Kane, one of the greatest MCs of all time. But his influence didn’t stop there—he worked as a producer for the unforgettable Notorious B.I.G., facilitating the creation of tracks that shaped the golden era of Hip-Hop.

Ay, Mister…

Born and raised in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, Mister Cee caught the DJing bug early. At the tender age of 12, he was scratching records better than most adults twice his age. From hosting neighborhood block parties to dominating the airwaves of Hot 97, Mister Cee was a staple in the Hip-Hop game. His distinct voice and infectious energy lit up every room he entered, captivating everyone, desde los abuelitos to the jóvenes.

A Tribute to Our Own

We admire Mister Cee not just for his work in bringing Hip-Hop to the bicultural, bilingual Latino community, but also for his unwavering commitment to staying true to himself. His authenticity was undeniable—a testament to how we Latinos do things. Buena onda indeed! Bien hecho, Mister!

Siempre Recordado

The music, the memories, the good times—those will forever live on. Mister Cee used his turntables to create magia, turning records into urban symphonies that moved souls and widened hips. As they say, la música es eterna, just like our appreciation for Mister Cee.

We want to encourage you all to fire up your favoritos by Mister Cee tonight, bailando in his honor. We’re sure he’d love the celebration, because as we all know, we Latinos can throw un bailoteo.

Honor the Legacy

Though we grieve, let’s not forget to celebrate Mister Cee’s immense contributions. His legacy is evident in the Hip-Hop soundscape that still resonates today. Without him, the landscape of music we dance, cry, and celebrate to could have been muy diferente.

So, while we mourn, let’s also elevate. Turn up his tunes for the world to hear, share your favorite Mister Cee story, keep his memories alive. Porque, as we all know, legends never die.

Let’s honor the legacy of this incredible icon, this Latino-influencing luminary, and continue to find joy in his contributions. Eso es lo que él would’ve wanted.
