Tray KearneyAuthor|Speaker| Certified Life CoachYummy Life CoachingNew Jersey

Thought provoking. Ced is one who inspires you to see different points of view. His writing is thoughtful and on purpose and causes you to think about what is being written. Although a quite giant in the writing arena, the power of his voice through words is unmatched.

Yvette N. HarrisCEOHarris Public RelationsMiami, FL

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

Big Ced is a creative, intelligent, motivated and hard working brother who has always conducted himself with extreme professionalism and courtesy.

Anthony HubbardSenior Coordinator, Business & Legal AffairsSONY Music EntertainmentNew York, NY

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.

He got jokes. He is Hip Hop. He has a vision. An ageless part of this culture. His name is part of Hip Hop history and future.

Ovington PropheteCEOThe Candy Store Marketing Group (CSMG) New York, NY

Big Ced is “the Guy named Sam” who tried to play MC Lyte, when she should’ve been my girl. He seems to have gotten his act together after the ensuing beatdown, and is now a respected voice in Hip Hop culture with 20+ years of delivering biting content and social commentary across all aspects of popular culture

Che JohnsonBusiness Development Specialist IHeart MediaRichmond, Virginia

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?

DJ BabeAll Format DJDetroit, Michigan

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.
