Who is BIG CED?

My very first interview was with Biggie Smalls aka The Notorious B.I.G. In that interview, I asked him where did he see himself in 10 years. His response? ‘Dead’ He said he didn’t imagine himself living past 25. He was killed 2 months before his 25th birthday.

Who is Big Ced? Someone that is always smiling! Someone that is always trying to make sure that he looks out for you. Someone that does not ask of much in return. And someone that knows people. Big Ced is an amazing and accomplished journalist and networker. Big Ced is a veteran and if you do not know him… Stop asking who is Big Ced and get to know him.

One of the most genuine people I’ve met in entertainment industry, it’s no wonder why he’s among everyone’s favorite people. He has never hesitated to support any of my projects for more than a decade in good faith which is becoming harder to find in a game where money is the bottom line. I am honored to be his friend.

If I had to explain Big Ced in one word I would decline to answer. Someone as ever-changing, ever-growing, ever-learning, as Big Ced can’t be colored with one box of crayons. I have known Ced for about two-thirds of my life and in each phase he has challenged himself to do something NEW! Fearless, honest, talented, and real (not in any order) Ced is Hip-Hop;Ced is entertainment; Ced is the one-percent of decent human beings in a business that constantly attempts to compromise your moral foundation. Ced is a producer (Bet not many know that) Writer…Speaker and perpetual student. Big Ced is a brother…a friend…a leader and a teacher! To those who know him, Big Ced is a blessing!

I honestly don’t know for sure. He is someone I crossed paths with over 20 years ago as I started my career in this black entertainment industry. He was the first person to offer me a feature profiling me as a new member of the industry on The Industry Co-Sign. He was and is funny, crazy, annoying overzealous, overbearingly braggadocios about his appearance in the MC Lyte video back in the day. He is someone with whom you never skip a beat; no matter how long it’s been since the last time you’ve clasped hands or shared a warm hello. It’s as if you’re picking up a conversation from yesterday. He never forgets you for an invitation to a birthday party (not sure if that’s a money making scheme or not) but he makes sure that your name is on the list. Seemingly a touch self-centered, he’s just extremely aware of his worth and knows that this industry always deserves better. He is a veritable living, breathing archive of urban entertainment history. His lisp is ever present; his laugh is contagious; he is always smiling. An all-around good person to know. Well connected (and we’re talking real connections here not just social media) and willing to share those connections with you. Because he knows that’s how we move forward. Together. I’m happy to know him in as much as I do. And although I know I don’t see him often, I’m positive he’ll never treat me like a stranger. Ever.

Well… outside of having the worst jokes I’ve ever heard, Big Ced to me is what I would call “The Mayor of New York”. Ced knows everyone and everyone knows Ced. Now.. just because everyone knows him doesn’t mean everyone likes him… lol Big Ced is a writer, a journalist, a website content creator.. and did I mention he has the worst jokes ever?

BIG CED is an industry professional with a magnanimous personality and a smile to match. For almost twenty years, I have relied on BIG CED to enlighten his networks about my clients and good deeds and he has never once closed his door or acted like he didn’t care, and for that I am eternally grateful. Through his career transitions and evolutions, BIG CED has remained humble and authentic and ALWAYS reachable. In the media landscape it’s common to lose touch with people but through my different career moves, BIG CED has always been just a phone call away. Cheers to BIG CED and may everything he touches be as sincere as he is.

Rachel NoerdlingerManaging DirectorMercuryNew York, NY

Big Ced is an icon in New York City’s hip-hop community. It has been an honor for me to know him professionally as he has written about many of my clients. Ced is one of those rare people who only deals with authentic individuals. You know, the real ones. So when dealing with him, you better come honest, humble and professional.

You are an innovator who was ahead of his time as it relates to digital and blogs. You are also very kind and humble . Your life has been about promoting and helping others when so many people are all about self-promotion especially in the entertainment business. I know you have been in the business for a while but I hope you continue to fulfill your purpose as a top creator of content.
