Biography

Rapper Lil' Cease was born and raised in Brooklyn's Bedford-Stuyvesant area, at age 15 becoming a protégé of the Notorious B.I.G. With his distinctive lisping style, he made his recorded debut in 1994 as a member of the Junior M.A.F.I.A., issuing the single "Players Anthem"; the full-length Conspiracy followed in 1995, and that same year Lil' Cease scored a hit with the Lil' Kim duet "Crush on You." On March 9, 1997, he and the Notorious B.I.G. were driving away from a party in Los Angeles when Biggie was shot and killed; Lil' Cease continued as a solo artist, signing to Lil' Kim's Queen Bee label and issuing The Wonderful World of Cease A Leo in mid-1999. ~ Jason Ankeny, All Music Guide

James Lloyd, better known as Lil' Cease (also Lil' Caesar), is an American rapper and member of Junior M.A.F.I.A. He was also the cousin of the late rapper, The Notorious B.I.G. and was with B.I.G. when he was murdered in 1997. Cease's first release was 1995's Conspiracy with the Junior M.A.F.I.A. After making guest appearances on other artist's albums such as Lil' Kim's Hard Core, SWV's Release Some Tension and Mase's Harlem World, Lil' Cease released his first and thus far only album entitled The Wonderful World of Cease A Leo. It would peak at #26 on the Billboard 200 and #3 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums, and featured the hit single "Play Around". In 2005, Lil' Cease, Banger and MC Klepto reunited the Junior M.A.F.I.A. and released the group's second album, Riot Musik.
