After “bye toxic city!” hit in 2020, Cee and D-Cipher (the MC alias of Cambridge, ON producer Smokewell ) got right to work on the follow-up project. Initially intended to be the Deluxe Edition , they decided to turn it into a series and Vol. II was born. Once again infused with soulful Boom Bap Hip Hop, raw rhymes and high energy, the boys delivered a banger of a project. From the whimsical bounce of the title track to the laid-back “Even More” , from the chipmunk soul of “Free” with Notion to the haunting strings of “The Mexican” with Rock Abruham , from the early 2000s Roc-A-Fella era sample in “Carbon Copy” to the head nodding posse cut “The Playmaker” , the EP never slows on the energy and delivers every time. Bye Toxic City Vol II by Smokewell, Cee, D-Cipher

The deluxe edition of Cee 's sophomore opus, "Relentless" , features five brand new tracks produced by Myer Clarity . From the aggressive, guitar-driven "Larry Flynt" , to the sombre, moody "Cross The Line" with Andrew Cameron , to the bar-heavy "Entropy" , to flexing on "Light Work" with Andrew Cameron , and the soulful motivation of "Rome" with Myer Clarity , these new joints are a perfect addition to the OG.  Stream / Purchase below!!! Relentless (Deluxe) by Cee

From the autotune chorus to the relatable Roman Empire references, "Rome" sees producer/MC Myer Clarity link with Cee for this epic cut. With Mike Tompa ( Silverstein ) on the violin and Jon Rosner on guitar, the soundscape is set for Cee and Myer to drop bars about their struggles, challenges, triumphs and trophies. Stream the single below!!!

"Entropy   is a scientific concept as well as a measurable physical property that is most commonly associated with a state of disorder, randomness, or uncertainty" . The second single from Cee 's “Relentless (Deluxe)” , “Entropy” is a synth-driven banger channels this energy with what feels like random drum patterns and a beat-less chorus section. Stream the single below!!!

The third video from Cee 's “Relentless” album takes it back to the first single, “I Got Next” featuring the album's producer, Myer Clarity , and the album's engineer, Notion . The visual, courtesy of long-time collaborator King Richard , spans from Montreal, QC to Toronto, ON, with the three MCs illuminated under neon lights like the cover art, the Relentless flag blowing from the Tesla as they roll through the city with the windows down to the sounds of booming bass and trappy synths.  Stream + Download Cee - "I Got Next" ft.

After three singles - the trappy “I Got Next” featuring Myer Clarity and Notion ; the neck-snapping “Stay Woke” ; and the reggae vibes of “Let Justice Prevail” featuring Caleb Hart ; Montreal-via-Melbourne artist Cee is finally delivering his long-awaited solo full-length. The sophomore solo album, "Relentless" , is Cee' s boldest and all-encompassing project to date.  With production helmed entirely by Toronto's Myer Clarity , the album is created entirely by musicians with no samples to be found, and the result is astounding. The project is mixed and mastered by Notion - the true MVP of the album - and all art work, photography, wood-carving and creative direction is from Cee' s long-time collaborator, Josh Telfer . Relentless by Cee

The Movement Fam shares the video for the single "Let Justice Prevail" by Cee featuring Caleb Hart , produced by Myer Clarity .  The video is shot, directed and edited by Richard Bastarache , “Let Justice Prevail” was an epic cross-country undertaking, filmed in both Trois-Rivières, QC and Victoria, BC. With Richard and Karine Theberge handling filming (and Karine on fire stunts) in QC, Joshua Telfer , who also handled all artwork for the entire project, was behind the camera for the BC shoot. The result is an arresting video, loaded with images of all of the elements (fire, water, air and earth) and featuring faces from various backgrounds, reflecting the world around us and the importance of equality and justice for all.  Stream + Download Cee - "Let Justice Prevail" ft.

TMF ain't slowing down this month. Both Cee and Notion made appearances on Cambridge, ON-based producer Smokewell 's CanCon project, “The Northern Lights Tape” , mixed + mastered by Notion at Illnote Studios . Y'all might know Smokewell , also known as D-Cipher on the mic, from his 2020 collab EP with Cee , “bye toxic city!” . Cee connected with the sultry D'Eve Archer on “Old Ghosts” , a moving and haunting (pun intended) ode to his late father over soulful Rhodes keys, while Notion came with strong bars over a grimy boom-bap slapper on “So Grateful” .

The Movement Fam sends the single "Place I Know" , a smooth, soulful boom-bap slapper where Notion pours his heart out, as he is known to do, breaking down his motivations, dreams, challenges, and fears. The single is the warm up for his upcoming solo EP later this fall. Place I Know by NoTiOn

The Movement Fam shares “Stay Woke” the first visual from the project “Relentless” .

EP.  Today they bring you the visual for the first single, "Misused" .  Edited by the god King Richard , the video is shot in both Cee and D-Cipher 's respective homes in Montreal, QC and Cambridge, ON. It reflects a small piece of their daily lives during the pandemic - nowhere to go, laying low, making music and pondering the grim reality of the world we live in.

Back in April, Cee and Notion dropped their first official collaborative single as a group, "Found U" . Produced by Notion . Fast forward to Summer '19 , the Toronto Raptors came through with a historic win to take home the first ever NBA Championship for a Canadian team. This W meant more to the city than anything they'd seen since they've been residents, so in light of the win and the fact that both Cee and Notion now are Permanent Residents of Canada , it was only right that they shot the video for "Found U"  on the day of the Championship Parade.  Expertly shot and directed, as always, by Richard Bastarache aka King Richard .

The Movement Fam sends the single "Found U" by Cee & Notion ....As so many of us were, both Cee and Notion were heavily affected by the recent death of Nipsey Hussle , as they share a lot of his mindstate, subject matter and his business ethos. He was and will continue to be a huge inspiration in life and music. Huge loss. #RIPNipsey
