Mister Cee, also known as “The Finisher,” notably discovered hip-hop legend The Notorious B.I.G. The DJ was introduced to Biggie by friend DJ 50 Grand. The two then collaborated on the demo, and soon enough, The Source's Unsigned Hype column caught wind of it, which ultimately led to a meeting with Sean “Diddy” Combs.
Mister Cee也被稱為“The Finisher”,特別發(fā)現(xiàn)了嘻哈傳奇人物The Notorious B.I.G.。DJ是由朋友DJ 50 Grand介紹給Biggie的。兩人隨后合作制作了這首小樣,很快,The Source的未署名炒作專欄就聽到了這首歌的消息,最終促成了兩人與“吹牛老爹”肖恩·庫姆斯的會面。
"The plan was we were going to redo the basement demo that he and 50 Grand put together," Cee shared with WBLS 107.5. “Big was very shy. He would always talk with his head down and say, ‘Yo man, don’t be promising me nothing, man. If you say you’re going to do something, do it.’ And I’m like, nah, we’re going to redo the demo."
Cee告訴WBLS 107.5:“我們的計劃是重做他和50 Grand一起做的地下室演示。”“大男孩很害羞。他總是低著頭說話,說:“嘿,伙計,別向我承諾什么,伙計。如果你說你要做某事,那就去做。’我說,不,我們要重做demo。”
Eventually, Mister Cee would go on to serve as the associate executive producer on Biggie’s debut album, Ready to Die, in 1994.
最終,西先生在1994年擔(dān)任了Biggie的首張專輯《Ready to Die》的副執(zhí)行制作人。
