Cee98

Born in Mexico and raised in the Bay Area, CEE98 (A.K.A. Prolific) is carving his place in hip-hop with a fearless bilingual flow, raw lyricism, and unapologetic storytelling. Turning to rap as both an escape and a weapon of self-expression, he channels his upbringing into music that bridges cultures and generations.

Drawing inspiration from some of the greats—Eminem’s intricate wordplay, King Lil G’s and Snow Tha Product’s Chicano storytelling, and the rising Mexican rap scene led by Gera MX, Alemán, and Dharius—CEE98 has built a sound that reflects his dual identity. His music blends the West Coast’s signature style with the gritty, heartfelt narratives of Latin hip-hop.

CEE98 has gained his stripes by opening up for Bay Area legends such as Dru Down, Rappin’ 4-Tay, and Spice 1 at the Barrel Proof Lounge, while also performing across multiple venues throughout the Bay. He further made an impact at Iron Ox Fest, where he debuted his breakout single “Bands.”

Beyond the stage, CEE98 has collaborated with artists including Pere Pressure (Lake County) and Eros 727 (Mexico), showcasing his versatility and dedication to bridging cultures through music.

With his unique voice, relentless drive, and commitment to authentic storytelling, CEE98 is emerging as one of the most promising Mexican-American rappers of his generation.
