Album : Life of a Kid In The Ghetto : Demos And Rarities
Release Date : February 26th, 2008

review :
Despite generating some top 10 Billboard rap hits in the 90’s including the undisputed #1 smash "I Got To Have It", Ed O.G’s major label albums have been out of print on CD for several years now, even while he hustled on with numerous well-received indie projects such as "The Truth Hurts", "My Own Worst Enemy" and the recent "Acting". While unfortunately the rights to the original debut album "Life of a Kid In The Ghetto" remain in limbo, a special double-disc companion release has been assembled for 2008, with help from longtime producer Joe Mansfield of Vinyl Reanimators. This "Demos and Rarities" set contains 28 tracks including alternate versions of famous tunes, songs that didn’t make the album (and never appeared elsewhere) and other gems from the original recording sessions laid down over 15 years ago, including never before heard collabos with KRS-ONE and Scientifik. Even the cover art features an authentic photo taken from the fade-haircut era that was previously never shown publicly.
