The Movement Fam – Ain’t No Mountain (Official Music Video)

So on March 15th, 2011, myself (Cee), Notion and Bekah (as The Movement Fam at the time) filmed our first music video for the tune ‘Ain’t No Mountain’, from Cee & Bekah’s ‘The Soul Movement Originals’ album. After constant setbacks and delays, last year I managed to retrieve the footage from the cameraman, and this year I finally found an editor to put it all together for us.

And even though this tune is from an older project and the video was delayed, the message and the song itself hasn’t dated a bit. We feel it’s only right that on the two year anniversary of shooting the video, we release it for y’all.

All in all, this came out much better than we expected. We have give a huge shout out to editor Andrew Howarth for dedicating his time and energy into putting this video (along with a bunch of future ones) together for us to the best of his ability, given what he had to work with. It’s truly appreciated, and we hope that y’all dig it too.

The video will be live on Thursday March 14th at midnight Eastern Standard Time in Canada/USA, and 3pm Australian Eastern Standard Time on Friday March 15th, on both our YouTube and Vimeo channels. Our YouTube channel has all our other videos and pretty much every song we’ve ever released on there so feel free to check that out, while you can watch ‘Ain’t No Mountain’ in super HD on our Vimeo channel.

We hope y’all enjoy the video, folks. Once again, any sharing via social media or any of your channels is extremely appreciated. We’re 100% independent with no financial or label support, so we depend on the love of the people to get our music out.

Thank you to everyone for all the support. It truly means a lot. Bless.

Much love,

Cee – My Dreams x Weapon X (Produced by Mack Sitty)

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.

Cee – Babylon Wailin’

Ah yeah. Time for October’s new goddamn joint.

‘ATLiens’ is one of my favourite albums of all time, so I cut up the two illest joints from it and made them into a new one. This is the first track I’ve recorded in my new studio in Montreal, and it was dope to be able to speak on some of the shit I’ve been dealing with in the move from TO to MTL.

Cee – Never Let Me Down x Bekah

Ah yeah. I STAYS late, pimp.

This is my September joint. It was from the Cee & Bekah ‘The Soul Movement Volume 3′ sessions, but we ran out of room on the tape for it. I really wanted to find a way to get it out, so this seemed like the perfect fit. ‘The College Dropout’ is one of my favourite and most influential albums of all time, so I had to go in on this one.

Go for it. Free download of the tune on my Bandcamp, kid.

Notion – Young & Crazy

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.

Cee – Don’t Fuck With My Money x Penguin Prison

New joint for August, sons! (Yeah it’s late, I know)

Penguin Prison opened for Miike Snow in Toronto recently, and I LOVED this jam. I got seriously fucked over by my job around the same time, so this song was perfect to let all that shit out on. Enjoy.

As usual, mix by Notion, art by Believe Dreams Design Life.

Cee – The Indie Experiment Volume 3

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.

Cee – Broads x Notion x Miguel | Notion – Misunderstood

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.

Cee - Broads x Notion x Miguel

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.

Cee Joints – April x May x June

Of course, even though the blog has been out of action, the hustle hasn’t quit.

June was the last month of my monthly cuts leaking from ‘The Indie Experiment’ series, so get ready for some fresh shit come July.

April was all about Passion Pit. ‘Sleepyhead’ was the cut, a little more BPMs for that ass.

Cee - Sleepyhead x Passion Pit

May was all about Lana. Who hasn’t dropped a fucking Lana track? Had to be done, though. ‘Born To Die’ is on some shit. Shouts to my lady.

Cee - Born To Die x Lana Del Rey

And for June, I had to bring the crew out. I haven’t dropped a cut with a rap feature this year, so I got my brother Notion and my BFAM Tommy Gunnz on deck for ‘Fleur Blanche’, my trip hop moment. One of my faves songs the three of us have ever done.

Cee - Fleur Blanche x Notion x Tommy Gunnz x Örsten

Finally, I might as well include this puppy here. The Movement Fam haven’t dropped a crew track for a minute, so we decided to release this cut, ‘Clear Your Mind’, we recorded last year with the homie L.S. outta Barrie, Ontario, and producer S.T.T.R.E.S.S. outta North Carolina. This is some smooth, real shit, written when we were all going through some tough times. It’s not available for free download, as we’re gonna chuck it on iTunes soon. Enjoy!

Cee – The Indie Experiment Volume 1

Sigh. Once again, my bad on the extremely delayed post…

This is the first 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. The next two volumes will drop on June 10th and August 10th, respectively.

HUGE shouts to everyone who made this happen: Notion (engineering, mixing, mastering), Josh Telfer (design, drawing my logo on a big ass mirror with lipstick), Iskander Ben Amor (photography), and my gorgeous girlfriend Tiffany Alexis (cover model, partner in winning).
