Cee Major – ‘10,000 Hours’ Mixtape

By August 14, 2016 Blog
 
Cee Major is from the school of barring and he returns with “10,000 Hours” a free mixtape which shows huge progression both sonically and lyrically from his previous EP releases. The title of the mixtape is of course in reference to the theory that 10,000 hours of practice is the required time to become an “expert” in your chosen field. This unquestionably seems pertinent in Cee’s case.

Having built a reputation for himself on the freestyle video circuit, as well as a battler in the UK battle rap league ‘Don’t Flop’ Cee solidified his name with his debut EP releases “Humble Beginnings” and “The Format” in 2014 and 2015. After a short hiatus to focus on university, “10,000 Hours” marks the return for the East Londoner.

The “mixtape” contains 13 tracks, all original production, including 6 tracks produced by Cee himself. Cee co-produced 2 of the tracks with producer Phocus Beats, who also contributed 4 of the cuts. However Cee teamed up with producer; Infamous for the song ’27’ which was released on SBTV in July.

Cee’s intensely harsh honesty within his lyrics, which are intelligently and seemingly effortlessly woven together, are what makes his music so refreshing in a scene becoming increasingly influenced by gang culture. In his opening track ‘No Feature Film’ Cee displays this social and cultural awareness in his lyrics.

Not only does ‘10,000 Hours’ provide a reflective view of growing up in London and more generally in urban city life, but Cee delves into far more personal matters. It’s his self-awareness and analysis that results in an ultimately stripped down vulnerability which deeply resonates with the listener.

In life, balance is important and musically too. Whilst we all enjoy going out and “turning up”  – music, particularly rap music, has and always will be, vital in providing a voice for the unheard and providing a harsh reminder of the sometimes conveniently forgotten elements of society. Cee embodies this.

The tape is a banger, referencing real talk life ish and coming up in the game as a younger !!!!

My fav joints being ‘Destination’, ‘Do It For The ‘Man’ ,‘The Homies’ and ‘Whitney’

10,000 Hours will be available to download and stream from all major platforms worldwide on August 12th 2016.
