Edo. G "Hold U"

By Ralo

Edo. G was nationally recognized when he dropped his first album "Life Of A Kid In The Ghetto" in 1991. Prior to 1991 he was making a name for himself on the local underground Hip-Hop circuit in the city of Boston, until he caught the attention of New York radio legends, The Awesome Two. They formed a group called Edo. G And The Bulldogs, and released their first full-length album on Mercury/ Polygram Records.

The most unique thing about "Life Of A Kid In The Ghetto" was the subject matter, every song was about a different socially relevant topic- like "Be A Father To Your Child", "Bug-A-Boo" and "Dedicated To The Right Wing"- which talked about some of the legal troubles that the Two Live Crew were in at the time. The album is best remembered for it's first single, "I Got To Have It" which sampled Hamilton Bohannons' "Singing A Son For My Mother", a loop that was so infectious it was later used by Heavy D and even Mary J Blige.

Edo. G And The Bulldogs followed their debut two years later with their second effort "Roxbury 02119" in 1993. Edo. G then went on to do nine more projects one of which was "Arts And Entertainment" with Brooklyn legend Masta Ace in 2009.

Edo. G is back with his new single and video titled "Hold U" from his most recent album "Intelligence And Ignorance". On "Hold U" he showcases his technical lyrical skills while talking about some of the social ills that face the 99%. Edo.g proves that time has been good to him because he hasn't lost a step since 1991.
