DJ Mister Cee Passed Away!

The spin doctor. DJ Mister Cee passed away.

The legendary deejay  and producer for the Notorious B.I.G. and Big Daddy Kane has passed away. 

Did He Did It?

You know people who associated around Sean "Puffy" Combs would mysteriously die or have served time in the lockup. Call me a conspiracy theorist.

Calvin LeBrun, best known as DJ Mister Cee has passed away at the age of 57. His death will be addressed on New York City hip-hop stations as well as LL Cool J's Rock The Bells Radio on SiriusXM.

His current show "The Set It Off Show" on Rock The Bells Radio will be paying tribute to Mister Cee.

Mister Cee was the spin master of Brooklyn. The Finisher as he was known, the Brooklyn native made a name for himself as one of New York's most prominent DJs.

He executive produced the debut albums of Kool Moe Dee and The Notorious B.I.G., and he was the official DJ for rapper Big Daddy Kane.

The New York hip hop radio station HOT 97, who Mister Cee was an important part of, released a statement after learning of his passing.

"As a family at HOT 97 and WBLS, we're deeply saddened by the passing of our beloved Mister Cee. He wasn't just a DJ; he was a pillar of our stations, bringing joy to countless listeners with his legendary Throwback at Noon and Friday Night Live sets," the statement said in part.

Peter Rosenberg, who is co-host of a weekday morning show at HOT 97 and ESPN Radio's 'The Michael Kay Show,' also reacted to the news of LeBrun's death.

Mister Cee also had flaws in his career. He was caught up numerous times with the NYPD.

He was caught soliciting from four transgender prostitutes. It forced him to admit he had an attraction to transgender women. There is nothing wrong with his love life. But as with hip-hop and the street "code", rappers and hip-hop celebrities being gay could be dangerous.

LeBrun was born in Bedford–Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, New York City. In his high school, he met rapper Big Daddy Kane. After graduation, he worked for several messenger companies, including Airborne Express, until he began deejaying for Kane in the late 1980s. He appeared on the track "Mister Cee's Master Plan" from Kane's 1988 debut album, Long Live the Kane.

In the early 1990s, he gained popularity as a radio DJ, showcasing the music of rising artists. His radio shows Throwback at Noon and Friday Night Live would air respectively on New York radio stations Hot97 and WBLS. During this time, Mister Cee discovered rapper the Notorious B.I.G., otherwise known as Biggie Smalls, after meeting B.I.G. through his DJ 50 Grand. He would help record B.I.G.'s demo and facilitate the deal which got Notorious B.I.G. signed by Sean "Diddy" Combs to Bad Boy Records. Mister Cee also helped develop a new flavor called "Island Punch Finisher" for Tropical Fantasy soft drinks. In 2008, the video game Grand Theft Auto IV featured a realistic Mister Cee character on a rap radio station, "102.7, the Beat".
