Who is BIG CED?

When I think of Big Ced, what comes to mind is a well respected industry vet who has worked at huge media publications such as Black Enterprise, Vibe and The Source to name a few. A passionate and dedicated journalist who is an innovator that created a platform of his own, his website, The Industry Cosign, which he has held down for over 12 years. I am privileged and blessed to know him and I am inspired and motivated by him.

Who Is Big Ced
Big Ced is Diana Ross illegitimate son by David Ruffin..
I’ve known Ced for over 20 years he was a Roadie for the Stylistics ..
No but in all reality Ced is one of my oldest friends from when hiphop was fun and not about skinny jeans and rhymes about Bologna. He comes from a period where we were a community of creative people a magical era where we actually danced and looked forward to being fly not microwave shit like we listen too now. He is definitely a historian of our culture and just a all around GREAT dude . Proud to say he is my friend a real friend . No Hollywood shit with him at all .. Hey Ced just stop wearing corduroy suits in the rain and drinking Long Island Ice Teas with no Ice …

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.

‘I have known Big Ced for many years and he has always been not only the consummate professional and an admirable go-getter, but a dear friend on whose support I could always count. Professionally or personally, Ced is someone you want on your team!’

“Who is BIG CED? A forward-thinking, an ambitious and energetic creative, who is unafraid of big moments and spectacles. A man who deserves his props for all the work he’s done in his 20-plus-year career.”

Kevin L. ClarkManaging Editor OkayplayerBrooklyn, New York

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.

I’ve known Big CED for almost 20 years now, and what I like about him most is that he’s still the same person now that he was back then! In this business it’s hard to find genuine people, especially because the power of one’s network along with success and money can often times change someone’s character. But not CED, he is one of the most coolest people I know, and is also the only guy that I can call a smart-ass, but in a cool way (haha). In addition, CED is very opinionated, he’s a realist, and you always know where you stand with him.

“Big CED is a stand up dude who has always helped me in securing coverage for the artists and projects I’m working on” – @brokencool

Grade “A” in professionalism and knowledge of the entertainment industry. His support on both established and upcoming artists has heightened their visibility on a key note. CED is simply, one of the best and few who remain consistent in supporting our artists. Summed up — a gem to work with
