EASY MO BEE

We are honored to have had the iconic Easy Mo Bee as the inaugural DJ to spin live at Crown Shy. You can now hear Easy Mo Bee's Kitchen Selects any evening as the soundtrack to Crown Shy's Dining room this season. 

Mo Bee first rose to prominence in the early 1990s through his work with Bad Boy Entertainment, producing The Notorious B.I.G.’s breakout track “Party and Bullshit” and contributing heavily to the label’s flagship releases: Craig Mack’s Project: Funk da World and Biggie’s Ready to Die. During 1994–95, he was also linked to 2Pac, producing the rare Pac–Biggie collaboration “Runnin’ From tha Police” and two tracks on Pac’s Me Against the World.

 In this same period, Mo Bee crafted major hits for the Lost Boyz (“Jeeps, Lex Coups, Bimaz & Benz”), Das EFX (“Microphone Master”), and Busta Rhymes (“Everything Remains Raw”). He later reunited with Biggie on Life After Death (1997), producing “I Love the Dough” and “Going Back to Cali.”

 

In 2000, Mo Bee released Now or Never: Odyssey 2000, featuring an all-star cast including Busta Rhymes, Raekwon, Prodigy, Kool G Rap, Smif-N-Wessun, Sauce Money, Goodie Mob, and Kurupt. Over the following decade, he produced for artists such as Big Daddy Kane, Wu-Tang Clan, Mos Def, Black Rob, Sean Price, Ras Kass, and Wiz Khalifa, ultimately earning a Grammy for his work on Alicia Keys’ The Diary of Alicia Keys (2003).

We are so honored to have had Mo Bee as the first DJ to spin live at Crown Shy. You can now hear Easy Mo Bee's Kitchen Selects any night as the soundtrack to Crown Shy's dining room.
