Edgar "Woosie" Bailey Jr. II was born on December 10, 1978 to Cynthia and Edgar Bailiff, Sr. at Loyola University Hospital in Chicago. As a child, Edgar attended church with family and that foundation allowed him to hold on to his faith in God. Ed attended Horatio May Elementary in Chicago and through relocation, completed his education at Bloomington High School in 1997. Ed took pride in being a hard worker and enjoyed being a mechanic at Jackson Ford in Decatur, IL. There were many things that brought joy to Edgar's life: basketball, his shoe collection, food and riding his motorcycle (which he spent many years riding with Ex-Klu-Syv Rydaz MC as the infamous SnoMan). Edgar added the ultimate joy to his life on September 2, 2016 when he married his devoted wife, Taneika.
