"The plan was that we would redo the basement demo that he and 50 Grand had put together," Cee once told WBLS 107.5 adding, "Big was a shy person. He'd always talk with his head down, saying, 'Yo buddy, don't promise me anything. If you say you'll do something, then do it. I'm like, "No, we're going to redo the demo."
Cee later became an associate executive producer on Biggie's debut album, Ready to Die, in 1994. The Brooklyn-born DJ was also noted for his own work as a DJ for Big Daddy Kane. He later appeared on Kane's 1988 first album, Long Live the Kane. The late DJ also appeared on the song Mister Cee's Master Plan.
