Who is BIG CED?

Big Ced is a lover of music with a sarcastic tongue.

Nacole AliSpeaker, Media Personality, Author and Business OwnerTaking ActionNew Jersey

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.

In my mind I’d say “Big CED is an a$$ Hole” But my heart says “It’s hard to hate Big CED” So my mouth would say “Big CED is an all around good guy”!

“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 a veteran in the entertainment industry that’s paved the way for some of the industry’s most prized possessions.

Big CED is this arrogant brother originally from the Bronx. He currently resides in New Jersey, so he feels untouchable. He is very mouthy and opinionated. All joking aside he is a pretty good dude with a lot of wisdom and insight. We need more people like him in Hip-Hop!

Big Ced is just that, BIG! Big personality, big industry guy, big friend, big comedy fool! A real stand-up guy that I don’t keep in touch with but wish I would!

Hard headed. Arrogant. But well intentioned and good hearted.

Claudio E. CabreraAudience Development and Engagement ManagerCBS LocalNew York, NY

I’ve been in the industry since Hip Hop was a pup. I met Cedric many moons ago as he began working. Simply said, Cedric aka Big Ced, always had follow through and is a stand up guy. He’s always been honest, but no Boy Scout and definitely not a sucker! He always had a great pen, and his love for hip hop always shined through…
Big Ced…real good man!

Troy SheltonCo-Founder/CEOForthright Entertainment

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.
