The 1990s was a rich vein of classic Hip-Hop, especially on the East Coast, which rendered some of the greatest works from the likes of Wu-Tang Clan, Nas, Mobb Deep, and many others. Frequently lost in the genre’s New York-centric history was Boston’s burgeoning Hip-Hop scene during the 1990s, spearheaded by working class Roxbury native Edward Anderson, best known by his stage name Ed O.G.<\/strong> His illustrious career debuted in 1991, with the release of what is arguably his best known album, Life Of A Kid In The Ghetto<\/em>, a collaboration with his crew, billed as Da Bulldogs<\/strong> (which was actually an acronym for \u201cBlack United Leaders Living Directly on Grooving Sounds\u201d), though Ed O.G.<\/strong> was clearly the main event.<\/p>\n

An underrated classic in its own right, Life Of A Kid In The Ghetto<\/em> managed to generate Billboard-charting singles out of tracks like Bug-A-Boo<\/em>, Be A Father To Your Child<\/em>, and I Got To Have It<\/em>, which would become Ed O.G.<\/strong>‘s signature track. Get On Down<\/strong> now presents Life Of A Kid In The Ghetto<\/em> reissued on vinyl for the first time since 1991. The audio has been remastered from its original tapes, so every bit and piece is crisp and clear on wax. An uncovered gem of 90s rap well worth a re-listen or first-time discovery, and a sterling representation of Boston Hip-Hop.
