MC Ceja (born February 15, 1978) as Alberto Mendoza Nieves in Arecibo, Puerto Rico) is a Puerto Rican rap artist. He is also known as El Cejón due to his heavy eyebrows.
MC Ceja was born in Arecibo, Puerto Rico, but he was raised both in Brooklyn, NY and Puerto Rico alongside his younger brother and sister. His brother, called "Cejita," died in a car accident in 2006. When Alberto was 13 years old, he started performing in talent shows and local parties. He also started composing songs which made fun of teachers and classmates.
His breakthrough came when he met reggaeton producer, DJ Eric, over the telephone, and by playing one of his songs he was able to grab DJ Eric's attention. Back in the day when recordings were made on underground cassettes, Ceja released a song called "Dame Ese Blunt." From then on Ceja started to appear in productions such as Hip Hop Reggae Mix, Street Style 1, Street Style 2, and Soca.He was also a major part in DJ Eric Industry Volumes 3, 4, 5 which produced lots of memorable songs from MC Ceja like, "Jingle, Jangle" "So Good," "No Paciencia," "Mueve Tu Figura de Campeona (Shalalalong)."
In 1996, Ceja launched his first solo album called Luz Solar, selling over fifty thousand copies. "Confusión" was part of this production and was number 1 in the charts for at least 10 weeks. He also released a video for this song, which lasted about 11 weeks.
During his time collaborating with DJ Eric, MC Ceja met Lito & Polaco and Polaco. These later form the group known as Los Tres Mosqueteros. In addition, whilst recording with DJ Eric a lyrical war started between them and the group from The Noise, which had artists such as Baby Rasta & Gringo and Bebe. This war went on for a couple of years and was not resolved until only a couple of years ago.
