Cee Knowledge
from page C3
with unforgettable stops at the
Great American Music Hall in
San Francisco, the Bohemian in
Seattle and Tipitina's in New
Orleans. Cee and his band and
scheduled to bring the live show
to Winston-Salem's Ziggy's May
2. Recently, Cee has released a live
CD as well as producing an LP
and recording an EP/maxi-single.
Reflecting on the sound. Cee
talked about how the group's
music contains some of the same
elements that you hear in Digable
Planets, but they otTer more of a
twist. "We are the next generation
of Digable Planets. Our sound is
similar to Digable Planets because
that is where our roots are. but it
is also different because we have
added our own flavor." Cee said.
Born Craig Irving in Philadel
phia, this 33-year-old definitely
has a vision of where he wants to
be musically and personally. For
Cee. hip-hop is more than just
what you see on the BET and
MTV videos, but it's subject to
exposing yourself to new and
original sounds of hip-hop. Here's
what Cee had to say about what
young listeners should do as far as
soul-searching: "Be yourself,
think for yourself and love your
self."
Cee commented, "Listen to
many new sounds of hip-hop. but
remember that the way of life isn't
what you see in the videos." Cee
wants to extend the positives of
living through his music, but
without showing the negatives
one will not know what is posi
tive: therefore, he plans to show
both sides.
Cee grew up listening to an
array of music artists, ranging
from Miles Davis, Bessie Smith
and Stevie Wonder to Dr. Dre, De
La Soul and A Tribe Called
Qwest.
With a few projects lined up
for the future. Cee is planning to
venture out into other artistic
genres. He has been looking at a
movie script as well as preparing
songs for the soundtrack. He is
also looking to develop some solo
careers for some of the members
in his band.
Though the road has not been
easy for Cee, he has managed to
keep motivated and inspired by
looking at his two children, ages 5
and 7. His philosophy in life is
very simple: "Keep seeking the
truth and be yourself and love
yourself. Once you realize that we
all are 'one' no matter what race,
age or gender we are, then we will
be able to come full circle into rec
ognizing who we are."
You can check out Cee
Knowledge and the Cosmic Funk
Orchestra on Wednesday May 2,
when the band stops at Ziggy's to
give Winston-Salem a dose of
what they call "street jazzoetry"
a funk-filled, band-mixing sound
that includes abstract rhymes.
