Early yearsMC Tee was born in Jamaica, emigrated with his family to the United States and eventually settled in the Flatbush section of Brooklyn, New York.{{Citation needed|date=May 2017}} Mantronix emcee{{Main|Mantronix}}In 1984, Brooklyn native MC Tee met Kurtis Mantronik at Downtown Records in Manhattan, where MC Tee was a regular customer, and Mantronik worked as the in-store DJ.[1][2] The duo soon made a demo, formed the group Mantronix, and eventually signed with Sleeping Bag Records. MC Tee co-wrote Mantronix's debut single, "Fresh is the Word," a club hit in 1985, reaching #16 on the Hot Dance Singles Sales chart. "Fresh is the Word" was featured on Mantronix's debut album, Mantronix: The Album, which was released the same year.[3] Mantronix's second album, Music Madness, was released in 1986. While MC Tee's rhyming style on the album continued in the traditional b-boy fashion of the times, Mantronik's club oriented production and mixing in Music Madness tended to attract more dance music and electro funk aficionados than hardcore, old school hip hop fans.[4] In 1987, Mantronix signed with Capitol/EMI and released In Full Effect the following year (1988). MC Tee abruptly left Mantronix shortly after the release of In Full Effect to enlist in the United States Air Force.[5] In a 1997 interview with MTV Europe, Kurtis Mantronik commented on the departure of MC Tee from Mantronix: {{quote|MC Tee left the group because he wanted to further his education. And just I think dealing with the politics of the business, he just wasn't cut out for that. And it kind of got him a little frustrated.[6]}}Mantronix continued for two more albums following MC Tee's departure, 1990's This Should Move Ya and 1991's The Incredible Sound Machine, with Bryce "Luvah" Wilson replacing MC Tee, before the group finally disbanded in 1991. Current whereaboutsTouré Embden was arrested and subsequently convicted of Agrivated Assault and given a 15 Year term in 2003. He served 6 years and was released in 2009.[7] Speculation has surfaced on Mantronix and Kurtis Mantronik fan sites regarding a reunion of the original Mantronix line-up, but as of 2011, a reunion has yet to materialize.[https://web.archive.org/web/20061102112838/http://www.cheebadesign.com/legends/index.html]. Touré Embden is listed as having lived in both Stone Mountain and Lilburn, Georgia.[8] References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.cheebadesign.com/legends/articleX.html |accessdate=2006-11-16 |author= |title=When Recorded Hip-hop was in its Infancy, One Man was Responsible for Really Pushing the Sonic Envelope.
