Arising from the Boogie Down Bronx in the mid-'80s hip-hop trio with a heap of new ideas to try out, Ultramagnetic's Kool Keith, Ced Gee, and DJ Moe Love occupy something of a singular place in the old-school pantheon. Combining funk-heavy tracks with jeep-rocking beats and obscure lyrical references, Ultramagnetic MC's have a list of firsts to their credit: the first group to employ a sampler as an instrument, the first to feature extensive use of live instrumentation...the first to feature a former psychiatric patient (Keith) on the mic. Early singles like "Something Else" and "Space Groove" were block-party staples and created waves in the underground, eventually landing the group on the disco-dominated Next Plateau label, where they released their underappreciated debut

  • What's so hard to ...

    What's so hard to believe that Kool Keith was on some different type of genius styles back then? Now he's grown a little older, and you just can't kick the same stuff when you get older? He ain't crazy in medical terms, he's crazy in lyrical terms! yeah, he was institutionalized for depression... Ok. But really? That's simply hip hop innovation at it's best!
