Cease & DesistWebsite www.myspace.com/djsignify DJ Signify is a hip hop producer from New York City. His 2004 debut album Sleep No More, featuring collaborations with Sage Francis and Buck 65, was described as "hip-hop at its darkest and most chilling"[1] and earned him accolades as a "master beatsmith."[2] 2009's Of Cities was similarly described as "dense, bleak instrumental hip-hop", reminiscent of Burial's Untrue and Tricky's Maxinquaye.[3]
