Mister
Cee
is
a
whole
legend.
His
career
was
recently
profiled
in
honor
of
Hip-Hop’s
50th
anniversary.
This
week Rock
The
Bells
conducted
in
an
depth
interview
with
Brooklyn,
Lafayette
Gardens
specifically,
native.
During
the
conversation
the
former
DJ
for
Big
Daddy
Kane
detailed
his
journey
from
his
early
days
as
a
youngster
to
the
indelible
impact
he
left
on
the
culture.
When
asked
about
his
earliest
Hip-Hop
memory
he
pointed
to
his
family.
“Growing
up
at
my
grandparent’s
house
and
learning
to
DJ
through
my
late
Uncle
Barry
and
his
next-door
neighbor
Anthony,
who
are
no
longer
with
us”
he
revealed.
“They
were
in
a
DJ
crew
called
DJ
Knight
and
the
Knights
of
Hollywood.
That’s
how
I
started
to
learn
to
DJ.”
The
Nasty
African
also
cleared
up
how
he
initially
discovered
The
Notorious
B.I.G..
“The
first
time
I
met
him
was
when
his
DJ
50
Grand,
rest
in
peace,
brought
B.I.G.
to
my
house.
The
plan
was
we
were
going
to
redo
the
basement
demo
that
he
and
50
Grand
put
together.
Big
was
very
shy”
he
explained.
He
also
went
on
to
confirm
there
is
unreleased
material
recorded
by
the
late
great
MC
while
he
was
still
alive.
“There
are
still
things
out
there.
There’s
not
a
lot,
maybe
one
album
of
material
still
unreleased
from
Ready
To
Die
and
Life
After
Death
sessions.
And
even
a
few
things
before
Ready
To
Die.
To
the
powers
that
be,
to
the
Puffy’s
and
the
rest
of
those
guys,
come
see
me
if
you
need
it.
If
they
could
find
it,
something
would
have
been
done
with
it
by
now”
he
added.
