James Roberts (born February 12, 1963), better known as Ed Lover, is an American rapper, actor, musician, radio personality, and former MTV VJ. He hosted “The Ed Lover Show” on SiriusXM’s old-school hip-hop station BackSpin. As of April 12, 2018, he hosts the morning show at classic hip-hop “104.3 Jams” WBMX in Chicago.
Roberts was born in Brooklyn, New York. Before reaching fame on MTV, he was part of an eccentric and deliberately enigmatic hip-hop collective called No Face, primarily with fellow members Kevon Shah and Mark “Mark Sexx” Skeete, who served as the leading producer. No Face debuted in 1989 on Island Records’ Club music imprint Great Jones with its only known recording for the label, “Hump Music”—an underground sexually explicit parody of The Jungle Brothers’ 1988 hip-house classic “I’ll House You.” No Face would continue recording for another five years, but it only released one album in 1990, Wake Your Daughter Up on its own No Face label, which was operated as an imprint of the Rush Associated Labels division of Def Jam Recordings.
