Longtime NYC Hip-Hop DJ 'Mister Cee' Passes Away.
I don't know who this person was, but they were talking about him on WCBS last night. Maybe you'd have to live in New York.
Longtime NYC Hip-Hop DJ ‘Mister Cee’ Passes Away.
Apr 11, 2024 Updated 4 hrs ago
Longtime New York City hip-hop DJ, mixer, and producer “Mister Cee” (Calvin LeBrun) has passed away. He was 57.
LeBrun worked at rhythmic CHR “Hot 97” WQHT for decades, hosting the popular “Throwback at Noon” and “Friday Night Live” programs. He most recently hosted the noon feature on Audacy classic hip-hop “94.7 The Block” WXBK. As a DJ and producer, LeBrun worked with hip-hop stars Big Daddy Kane and the Notorious B.I.G.
“As a family at Hot 97 and WBLS, we’re deeply saddened by the passing of our beloved Mister Cee,” a post on the WQHT website read. “Mr. Cee’s influence stretched far beyond the airwaves, shaping the very fabric of NYC’s DJ culture. Our hearts are heavy as we send our love and condolences to his family and the fans whose lives he touched through his music. Rest easy, Mr. Cee. Your legacy will live forever.”
LeBrun made a name for himself as “Mister Cee,” one of NYC’s most prominent DJs, serving as the official DJ for Big Daddy, discovering The Notorious B.I.G., “and being a part of the foundation that shaped Hot 97 to be what it is today,” the station’s online tribute continued.
