#MyLatest — Cee was the first interview for my book on B.I.G. It still seems surreal writing an obituary on him. At 57, at that. One thing is for sure, and I know he knew this. Telling hip-hop’s story w/o his genius is as dishonest as it is impossible. andscape.com/features/dj-mi…

True, authentic and genuine. That's what's been at the core of Andreas Hale since day one and that’s what people receive from his work. Super congrats Dre and to ESPN on this A+++ hire!!!

🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️❤️🫡🫡

these 2 flicks came up in my feed from Nipsey’s memorial service (5 years ago, yesterday.)

five years removed, they still poetically capture the moment and bring forth real raw emotion as all iconic photos do.

thank you for taking them. 🙏🏼

In celebration of the life of MISTER CEE, here's a unpublished exclusive from @dorememberbook when we asked Cee the backstories behind his most iconic drops.

When you read through you'll realize what a student of the game Cee is & how encyclopedic he was about all things rap.

Mister Cee was a giant.
He always deserved better from the culture he built and nurtured.
Despite it all, he never folded.
He gave everything he had to hip-hop with an aspirational amount of responsibility, care and precision. He was deeply, deeply loved. God bless you, sir.

RIP Mister Cee. Played a big part in me loving the music that I do and my understanding of the importance of The DJ.

We 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.

There was nothing like running to Hot97 to give Mister Cee music. “Don’t be late Niles, I ain’t waiting” #IYKYK

RIP Mister Cee, there will never be another!

RIP Mister Cee. Legendary DJ, legendary mixtapes, and without him we wouldn’t have known about a kid from Bedstuy who went by Notorious B.I.G.

Massive, massive record. Source of the infamous Biggie 'Where Brooklyn at??' chant and so much more. Me and my lil' clik ran this track to death. RIP Mister Cee, the ultimate Brooklyn representer.

RIP Mister Cee. Not just a tremendous show, radio and party DJ but a champion of all things Brooklyn and a vector for some of the most important products that materialized in our culture from the borough. 🕊️
