What is good my people?
Well, we've been in the US for around a week now and I gotta say, we're freakin' loving it. So far, we've managed to hit up San Francisco/Oakland, Seattle and Atlanta, and the folks here have been nothing less than hospitable, welcoming and hilarious.
It's been about 4 years since Bekah and I have been in the US and it's not a hell of a lot different to what I remember it to be. The liquor stores are fun as hell, everything's big, not everyone is as ignorant as you would expect and they are most definitely spoiled for choice. After being here only a week, it feels like months. I think that's a good thing. Either way, I have a strong feeling that we may need to relocate to this fine country to really make our music happen. It's just a matter of which city...
I know a lot of y'all have hit us up and tuned into our radio appearances thus far, we appreciate that. We've had so much support from so many people, I really wanna shout out my man DJ Hyphen in Seattle (keep working on them handstand push ups!), my peoples The Understudies Crew out in Oakland/Bay Area (Foss, Cobb, Jeremy, all the crew, and of course Vlad!!), my man Jermiside in ATL (watch out for them raccoons!) and my muthafuckin' homeboy and Movement Fam representative DJ Grain out here in Atlanta, where I'm writing this from. Also, huge shouts to Kevin Nottingham from www.kevinnottingham.com and Travis Glave from www.wydublog.com, both cats have shown unwavering support of our music and I can't thank them enough.
Aight, here's a bunch of links from the last week or so since both The Soul Movement Volume 2 and World Domi-NoTiOn have been released:

We're really excited about this, so let's get it going!

We'll keep y'all updated on the happs here, plus we'll have video blogs from the trip up real soon on our Movement Fam YouTube Channel.

Three quarters of The Movement Fam (Cee, Bekah and Notion) are off to the good old US of A, Canada and New Zealand this weekend to begin their mini-tour/networking trip/shopping expedition/radio tour/catch up sessions/piss up of North America and NZ.

We'll be keeping y'all regularly updated here on www.ceeandbekah.com of our movements (pardon the pun), the happenings, the highs, the lows, etc. We also aim to do video blogs on www.youtube.com/movementfam. Hopefully we aren't too caught up in the cheap beer to do so.

The Movement Fam - mixtape covers...
Yes, yes, what the funk is good?
It's Spring! Hell yeah! And we all made it the entire winter without getting sick (touch wood, no homo). Hope y'all are excited coz the sun has been poking it's head out of the clouds recently, so relief from the cold is on the way...
Been a minute, and through mad stress getting these mixtapes done and pressed on time for our overseas trip, organising the tshirts, artwork, PC dramas and deaths in the family, we're still at it and it's all coming together.
We do have some serious news with regard to Cee & Bekah and a major opportunity that has come our way in the last couple of weeks, although we're holding off on dropping the news just yet. For now, we'll say that there's a big chance y'all will be hearing a lot more from Cee & Bekah in the very near future.
The main reason for this post is that we are releasing the artwork for the first two mixtapes to drop from the camp since making it official as The Movement Fam. Notion's long awaited World Domi-NoTiOn mixtape and Cee & Bekah's follow up The Soul Movement Volume 2 have been completed and are currently being pressed in a short run especially for the overseas trip/tour in September and October.
Both covers, along with the Notion logo and Movement Fam logo, have been designed by the homie KidEight outta the UK (click his name to peep his MySpace page with some of his other designs, dude is a beast, no homo).
First up, here's Notion's joint:
And here's Cee & Bekah's cover:
We're mad happy with 'em. These two are the special pre-release international editions that we've put together strictly for the folks in the USA, Canada and New Zealand. The Australian crew will get their edition as soon as we get back.
We'll update y'all on the official release dates and locations for download of the mixtapes as soon as it's verified.
Oh and my man Kevin Nottingham at www.kevinnottingham.com is featuring us in the very near future, doing feature articles, downloading of the mixtapes AND, for y'all budding producers out there, an official remix competition where beatmakers can download 10 acapellas from each mixtape and submit remixes of the songs, and the best of each will be compiled onto a special release mixtape that we'll drop at the end of the comp. Very exciting stuff!!
We leave for the trip in mid September, so there will be more updates for those who wanna listen in to our radio interviews via the net.
Thanks for the love! And watch this space, there's a lot happening with the Fam right now...
Scream at ya people!
