New York Hip-Hop Icon DJ Mister Cee Dead at 57


Calvin LeBrun, better known as New York hip-hop icon DJ Mister Cee, has died at the age of 57.

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.” Cee, who was helming the Set It Off Show on Sirius XM’s Rock The Bells radio, was also renowned for DJing parties all over the tri-state area for decades. Late Brooklyn DJ 50 Grand received the Notorious B.I.G.’s original demo and introduced him to Cee, who told Rock the Bells about meeting Biggie just last year: Soon after, Bad Boy President Sean “Puff Daddy” Combs signed Biggie, and Mister Cee became the associate executive producer on his Ready To Die debut.
