CeStyle has been called a legend of hip-hop, a monster in cyphers and freestyles, an innovative producer and the most slept on emcee of 2003. The truth is being told, the people are responding, and word on the street says CeStyle is on Fire! CeStyle is reaching tens of thousands of listeners on the internet each week. However, his absence in “some” hip-hop literature is a mystery to many music critics. He is one of the most talented self-produced artists in the game. His metaphoric rhymes reveal a mysterious history that’s as rich and interesting as the sound of his music.

On the east coast, CeStyle is an underground legend. But he has recently become a fresh topic in the hip-hop scene. During the nineties he was featured in various media outlets like The Source, Blaze magazine and Hot 97. The buzz was getting hot, but industry politics slowed down what appeared to be the next best thing in rap. 

In those days Iron Kladd Entertainment had a secondary plan to strengthen their presence on the internet. CeStyle created an online assault from the late mp3.com and reached over 162k fans in one year. At the time, it was a lucrative move for an independent label. Since mp3.com closed, in the past few weeks he has reached tens of thousands of fans on soundclick.com. His weekly download stats are crazy!

These days the First Operative (or first soldier) of Iron Kladd Entertainment is going for the big prize. He is seeking to do collaborations with artists, producers and he is being shopped to several record labels. CeStyle has effectively used the internet to reach more people than most mixtape circuits would dare dream. Plus he stays on the grind pushing CD’s out the trunk. However, for the sake of argument he is also looking to get on the streets hottest mixtapes. This way he can show any remaining unbelievers why he’s called the underground King. 

Bottom line is, the time has come, the people have spoken, and they want more CeStyle. So beware wack rappers, he’s coming.

Interview by: G-W7 of Urban News Report 

U.N.R : Well I would like to begin this interview by saying I am impressed with the music that you create. Your sound is phat! 

CeStyle: Thank’s fam

U.N.R: Do you prefer to be called CeStyle or Corey Drumz?

CeStyle: Well my name is Corey, but most people call me CeStyle or Drumz. 

U.N.R: So according to reports, you are from Hollis Queens and you grew up around many historical figures in hip hop which include some members of Murder Inc. Who do you know and how do you know them?

CeStyle: I know Irv and his brother Chris. I know him from him being Romeo’s DJ back in the days and doing park jams and parties. Jeff (JA) I know as a young up and coming artist from around the way. he used to play basketball with us in Jamaica park, and watch us rhyme in ciphers after the game. O-1, Black Child, we all came up around each other. I was the dude everybody wanted a beat from. All the mc’s, dj’s, up and coming in the hood knew me. I made a name for myself in them streets for this music stuff.

U.N.R: Who else do you personally know in the Music Industry and how? 

CeStyle: Jam Master Jay was my dog from the hood. We didn’t see eye to eye on the music all the time but jay was real cool. Nashim Myrick (who produced “I Shot Ya” by B.I.G.), that’s my dog from high school. I’ve met LL a few times around the way and not around the way. I wouldn’t say I know him or he knows me, but whenever I’ve seen him it was all love and advice for a youngster from the hood that keeps showing up. MC Serch (from 3rd Bass) was my manager at one time, K-Solo from the hit squad was my dog, haven’t seen him in years though. Das EFX used to do shows performing to the beat from one of my singles. I mean, dog there’s a lot of people that I’ve crossed paths with that are out there now or were out there. 

U.N.R: I have heard some of your older stuff and it’s classic material, is their any chance you could re-release some of that music?

CeStyle: No doubt. those joints are what helped define my style. They are what I am, so my story is incomplete without them.

U.N.R: Your most current Joint is entitled Amnesia. Why did you pick that name for your CD?

CeStyle: It’s simple fam, cuz them dudes forgot, so now I gotta refresh they memory. CeStyle is still here.

U.N.R: Who are some producers and artists you would like to collaborate with? 

CeStyle: I like a lot of different people. As far as tracks, of course Dre/Eminem and that camp, Premier, DJ scratch, cats like that and as far as mc’s, I like Busta, Mobb Deep, CNN, Nas, and anybody that wanna make a hit with me on it. But, mostly my camp. They been waiting in the wings for all this time so I gotta do my crew. I’m Korp Dynasty 4 life and I want us to be the ones that the others wanna do joints with. I wanna make tracks for some of these dudes too because I know they’d bless an Iron Kladd banger.

U.N.R: As I question local rap critics, and scan message boards, I am convinced that fans are sparking a movement to get Cestyle his due recognition. It’s an open ballpark and Cestyle is looking for the right label to blast off with. If you download his music and bump it in your ride, you may feel the Iron Kladd Ax grinding.
