about

REMERCIEMENTS

Cee

To the Universe: Thank you for bringing MaD and I together for this project, for bringing my girl and I to Montreal, and for giving me the opportunity to keep making music, even after a decade of doing this. Eternally grateful. To Dr. MaD: Bro thank you for reaching out. One kind gesture now has turned into a dope ass project. It’s been amazing working with you homie, we got a classic on our hands. Let’s do this shit again. C’est vraiment bon. To Tiffany Alexis: My lady, my life partner, my best friend and my soulmate; none of this would have been possible without you. Nobody (aside from my parents) has ever supported me unconditionally like you have, and I truly couldn’t have taken things this far if you hadn’t. I love you more than life itself, and it’s my turn next year. <3 To Notion: My brother, my homie, my partner. Thank you for making this move with me, and believing in The Fam, even when shit got hectic. You did an amazing job making this project sound the best it could, as usual. Let’s fucking do this shit, son. To Mum and Dad: You guys lost your two sons to the other side of the world, yet you’ve been nothing but supportive. You guys have helped us survive over here when things got super rough, and I can’t thank you enough. All I want is to make you guys proud. Love you both. To my HHK Fam: Sickest bunch of cunts in the city. Thank you for introducing Tiff and I to Montreal real proper-like. I’m psyched to see how this business pans out. Respect. To everyone I’ve ever worked with: Thank you for shaping me into the artist I am today. If it wasn’t for the talented people I was blessed to learn from and be inspired by, I’d have given this shit up years ago. To the supporters: Yo I can’t thank y’all enough for watching the videos, copping the music, coming to the shows, grabbing the merch, etc. Without y’all, there’s not much point doing this. Thank you for believing. To the Quebec/Canadian Governments: Please let me stay. I love this country; it’s where I belong. I’ll be good. Promise. Peace!

Dr. MaD

D’abord au tout puissant Créateur qui, malgré la bêtise humaine, a créée un monde parfaitement harmonieux où chacun gagne à trouver le sens de sa valeureuse existence. Ma profonde gratitude à ceux qui sont avec le Docteur depuis le premier jour, depuis les ‘People Tapes’. Vous êtes la motivation première. À Craig: J’ai beaucoup appris par ce projet. J’ai rarement rencontré de gens aussi determinés et bosseurs comme toi. C’est un véritable plaisir. Il ne peut t’arriver que de bonnes choses. Mes salutations les plus respectueuses à Grey, Jo, Jay-L : je l’ai toujours dit que s’il fallait que je parte en tournée comme Hendrix, c’est hors de question que ça soit sans vous. À ma mère, deux choses que je ne peux oublier : tous ces sacrifices qui ont fait ce que je suis aujourd’hui, et tout ce bel héritage musical que tu m’as transmis. Lou Piensa, le Teacher, tu sais que j’en serai pas où j’en suis sans toi. Même chose pour beaucoup de jeunes que tu as influencé de manière + que positive. Respect pour tout le travail que tu as accompli depuis. Let’s go to Brazil now!!!
