What up, our people?

Whatever you’re doing this Easter weekend – whether it’s something spiritual or you’re just happy to have four days off in a row – we want our peoples to enjoy themselves so we figured we’d give y’all something to soundtrack your break with.

Notion spent most of 2012 giving you free music damn near every month, and because it’s been a minute since he dropped ‘Misunderstood‘, he wanted to give y’all something new to vibe to while he works on his debut album.

‘My Music‘ is a heartfelt, soulful banger with a hook that won’t get out of your head. Notion speaks on his struggles, his coping mechanisms, his dreams and mostly his passion for music. What better way to prepare y’all for ‘Pride On My Cufflinks’, his first full length release, coming later this year.

The tune will be live on Wednesday March 27th at midnight Eastern Standard Time in Canada/USA, and 3pm Australian Eastern Standard Time on Thursday March 28th, on Notion’s Bandcamp page for free download and/or stream. However, our folks on our newsletter get the goodness a little earlier! Go ‘head and cop that.

Peace our good people,

Hope everyone is living good. The groundhog said that spring is on the way, and here in Montreal, it most definitely looks to be so. And seeing as February is the month of love, there’s no better time to get in the mood than right… now.

We released the very first volume of The Valentine’s Day Mixtape back in 2009, so in 2013, The Movement Fam Presents The Valentine’s Day Mixtape Volume 5: Bitches Love Mixtapes. We figured that this year, we’ll drop the tape a few days before Valentine’s Day to give y’all some time to download it, vibe with it and get it ready for the big day.

For this volume, we included one exclusive track from Cee & Bekah, featuring the homies from Melbourne, A-Diction, as well as a brand new, all French Craig Bruce interlude. As per usual, the cover was handpainted by the homie Glen, all additional artwork, mixing, mastering and engineering was handled to perfection by Notion, while I (Cee) blended the mix, and curated the song selection with my wifey Tiffany Alexis. So it really was a family affair. And it was the first time we’d completed a Valentine’s Day Mixtape between Toronto and Montreal.

This is a free download, so go ‘head and cop the tape; bloggers, any exposure or love you can give us is immensely appreciated. Share it, show your partner and enjoy!

For perhaps the last time ever, what up?

Nah, it’s prolly not the last time. But still. Since tomorrow is the ‘end of the world’ according to popular belief and media brainwashing, I felt it would be appropriate to drop one last song before it all goes to hell. In January, I promised to release one tune each month for 2012; I managed to do just that, cutting it mighty fine sometimes but I got there lol. I figured it’d be fitting to drop an older song that was never released and was recently brought back to life…

“What better way to wrap up 2012 (the world might even end tomorrow, who knows?) than to drop an original track for y’all? This song was originally written and recorded in 2007 for my boy’s compilation album. It kinda kicked around since then; I tried to finish it a few times, it just never worked. Until now. Weapon X is prolly my favourite MC out of Australia, and one of my biggest inspirations, so it was a blessing to work with dude. Stoked that it came out how it did. Enjoy.”

I gotta shout out my brother Notion for mixing, mastering and engineering all my projects this year; Josh Telfer for doing all my art for everything I’ve ever released as a solo artist; and my girlfriend and partner in winning Tiffany for constantly supporting and helping me do this. It’s been a crazy year; I’ve dropped 12 songs, three solo mixtapes and been on bunch of features. Good times. Here’s a few of the cuts I was involved in; you can grab all my solo music from www.ceetmf.com too.

And today I plan to drink beer #1000 for my BeerAndOtherShit blog. If you haven’t peeped it already, head over and check out the journey.

Thank you to everyone for all the support this year. It truly means a lot, especially as this was my first full 365 as a solo artist. Have a safe and messy holidays, y’all! Bless.

I’ve done a couple joints with the homie outta the UK, FlamesYall. He hit me with a joint for his new sex-themed EP, and I done fucked it up by not adhering to the topic. This kinda worked to our advantage, as now we have a single and a feature on the HipHopSpeakEasy.com Hurricane Sandy mixtape.

Take a listen to the tune on FlamesYall’s SoundCloud, and huge shouts to Worgie and Daryl S. Tattoo for the ridiculously dope guitar, and Notion for the mix/extra production. We got a joint on our hands, here…

Oh yeah, son!

The kid Notion finally dropped his debut single ‘Young & Crazy’ on y’all! Produced by Sydney’s P.R, this is one of my fave tunes we’ve ever released, straight up.

It’s up on iTunes right now and it’s only $0.99 – bargain, eh. Maybe $1.69 in Australia. Bastards stay jackin’ up prices.

But yo, y’all can listen to it on Notion’s SoundCloud page while it’s downloading from iTunes.

Support The Fam, we’re really excited about this release and we hope you enjoy the tune!

Artwork by Notion, photography by my damn self.

On Wednesday August 15th, I finally dropped my debut music video as a solo artist. Made in conjunction with the folks at Horse Bliss, we knocked out the video for my first solo cut ‘Pot Of Gold‘ in a few hours in Toronto, Canada, and I’m stoked how dope it came out. We hit more than 400 views in like 5 days, which was amazing. Thanks to everyone who made this happen – Dave Dunville, Josh Telfer, Notion, Tiffany Alexis, Iskander Ben Amor, Eric, Shauna, Karsten and the rest of the crew.

Watch ‘Pot Of Gold (Horse Bliss Exclusive)’ at the Horse Bliss Vimeo page.

Yeah, son. So in the span of four months, I managed to drop three volumes of my debut mixtape series and create a piece of art with both the music and the visuals that were solely conceived of by myself (of course with the help of Nosh [mixing/mastering], Josh [photography/art] and Tiff [model/support] to make it happen). I’m really proud of this shit. I’ve only ever been in groups since I started recording and performing 10 years ago (goddamn, time flies eh), so to go solo was a huge step for me.

This third and final volume sees the culmination of the 27 songs of the series, completing The Indie Experiment. There’s a bit of a mix of tunes on this one; about my girl, my city, my art, my stories, some shit talking, and some truth. I think it caps it off nicely.

However y’all feel about this project, it was an experiment that I’m glad I saw through to the end. The response has been much stronger than I ever thought it would be, so I dare say it might inspire my future projects.

Go grab volumes 1 and 2 if y’all haven’t already, and cop volume 3 from www.ceetmf.com. Please hit me with any thoughts, comments, feedback, hate, etc. Love y’all.

Yup, late again on these posts. But I just moved to another province so that’s my excuse this month.

Aight so I dropped a joint with my brother Notion last month over this cut that Miguel released on his ‘Art Dealer Chic Volume 2′ mixtape called ‘Broads’. He left the verses open so we just went in. The quality of the beat was pretty shithouse, so Nosh did what he could with it. Good for a laugh, anyway. Cop it free from www.ceetmf.com, cunts.

And Nosh decided to recreate Lil’ Wayne’s ‘Misunderstood‘ beat himself and spit some serious bars over it. I love what he did here. Swag is stupid. Cop it free from www.notionbaby.com, fuckers.

Yes, bitches! Volume 2 out this.

For those who ain’t know, this is the second volume of a three volume series of mixtapes where I try to do something that I haven’t heard anyone else do; rap over indie rock/electro/dubstep/alternative/folk/indie songs, while leaving the original tune intact and integrating my rhymes with the theme of the tracks. It’s also my first ever solo mixtape release, so I hope y’all dig it.

Download it free from my Bandcamp page. And tell your mates.

The first volume dropped on my 31st birthday, April 10th 2012. This volume dropped June 10th and Volume 3 drops August 10th.

This one has a strong spiritual/political lean, subjects I’m quite passionate about but haven’t had a lot of opportunities to speak on them in my music. It feels awesome to let this shit out, so I think I’ll be on this vibe for a while.

HUGE shouts once again to everyone who made this happen: Notion (engineering, mixing, mastering), Josh Telfer (design, photography, making my logo out of illegal substances), and my gorgeous girlfriend Tiffany Alexis (cover model, partner in winning).
