His debut album, Youngest in Charge, was released in 1989 when he was only 17. It was recorded when he was even younger and yielded the hit record "I Got It Made." Behind his good looks and dope raps was so much more than met the eye, largely seen through teen rap mags and rap shows. Ed, a Brooklyn native, came up in an era where only truly official and talented emcees got record deals. He also came up in a rough period where you had to be respected in your 'hood too. Special Ed is no longer a teenager and he's evolved into an elder statement of Hip-Hop culture. He's got a perspective on just about everything, from his past, the difficult middle periods of his career and presently where he is actively giving back to young people.
