\n Mister Cee, the DJ, record producer and radio personality who played an integral role in the careers of Big Daddy Kane and the Notorious B.I.G., has passed away at the age of 57, according to former colleagues who received confirmation from his family<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n The Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn native born Calvin LeBrun has been an influential figure in hip-hop since the onset of his career. He learned to DJ at a young age from a crew called DJ Knight and the Knights of Hollywood, and after meeting Big Daddy Kane in high school, he became the rapp<\/a>er\u2019s DJ on tour in the late 1980s. Cee also made an appearance on Kane\u2019s 1988 debut \u201cLong Live the Kane\u201d with the track \u201cMister Cee\u2019s Master Plan.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n He inevitably met the Notorious B.I.G. through the rapper\u2019s DJ 50 Grand and helped record his demo tape, later facilitating the deal that got him signed to Bad Boy Records. Alongside Sean \u201cDiddy\u201d Combs, he served as associate executive producer on Biggie\u2019s classic debut album \u201cReady to Die\u201d in 1994.<\/p>\n

\n Most notably, Cee was a mainstay on Hot 97 and in mixtape culture, dropping 120-minute releases that bucked the standard 60-to-90-minute tapes. He made headlines in 2013 after an attempt to solicit sex from an undercover police officer, and turned the experience into a positive mission to promote inclusivity and acceptance. Recently, he\u2019d been spinning mixes on 94.7 The Block in New York City, and had live shows scheduled for this weekend.<\/p>\n

\n Some who knew Mister Cee have already turned to social media<\/a> to tribute the foundational DJ. Hot 97\u2019s Peter Rosenberg wrote on X (formerly Twitter)<\/a>, \u201cWe have lost the iconic Mister Cee. I listened to him yesterday and am in complete shock. He was a dear friend to all of us, a wonderful man, and one of the most important and impactful DJs of all time. I love you Cee.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n Rapper MC Lyte posted on Instagram<\/a>, \u201cI\u2019m heartbroken. Wasn\u2019t expecting this at all \ud83d\ude22. God Bless his soul. Mister Cee \ud83d\udda4Rest in power & peace!! \ud83d\ude4f\ud83c\udffd\ud83d\udda4.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n
