The music industry has lost a true legend. DJ Mister Cee, also known as "The Finisher," has passed away at the age of 57. This news was confirmed by SiriusXM, where he hosted his popular show "The Set It Off Show w/ DJ Mister Cee." The exact cause of his death has not yet been disclosed.
DJ Mister Cee, whose real name was Calvin LeBrun, first gained recognition as the DJ for Brooklyn rapper Big Daddy Kane in the 1980s. The two had met in high school and quickly formed a dynamic duo, with Kane's powerful lyrics and Mister Cee's skills on the turntables. Together, they released Kane's debut album "Long Live the Kane" in 1988, which became a huge success.
But Mister Cee's influence didn't stop there. He also played a crucial role in the career of another Brooklyn legend, Christopher Wallace, also known as the Notorious B.I.G. Mister Cee was there from the beginning, supporting Biggie and helping him get signed to Bad Boy Records. In a recent interview, Mister Cee expressed his belief in Biggie's talent, saying, "I knew he was dope. I didn't think he would become what he would before passing away."
Despite his success as a producer and performer, Mister Cee became a mainstay in the radio industry. He worked for various stations such as Hot 97, RADIO 103.9, Rock the Bells Radio, and 94.7 The Block. His show "The Set It Off Show" was a fan favorite, where he would play classic hip-hop tracks from the '80s, '90s, and 2000s. He also hosted "The Throwback @ Noon" on weekdays, further cementing his status as a hip-hop radio icon.
Upon hearing the news of his passing, many of Mister Cee's colleagues and friends took to social media to pay tribute to him. DJ Premier, MC Lyte, and Ed Lover are just some of the many who expressed their love and appreciation for the late DJ. Even 50 Cent, who had a brief feud with Mister Cee in the past, showed his respect and condolences.
The loss of DJ Mister Cee has left a void in the hip-hop community, but his legacy will continue to live on through his music and the memories he has left behind. Rest in peace, Mister Cee. You will be deeply missed.
