Ultramagnetic Mc's is a hip hop group based in The Bronx, New York. Founded by Kool Keith in 1984, the group also includes Ced Gee, TR Love and DJ Moe Love.
Cedric Miller, known as Ced Gee, is one of the members of Ultramagnetic Mc's. Keith Matthew Thornton, better known as Kool Keith, is another founding member. Trevor Randolph, also known as TR Love, and Maurice Smith (2), who goes by DJ Moe Love, complete the talented lineup.
With their roots firmly planted in the vibrant music scene of New York City, Ultramagnetic Mc's has made a lasting impact on hip hop culture since their formation over three decades ago.

Ced Gee and Kool Keith, both members of the legendary Ultramagnetic MC's, regroup for a new Ultramagnetic MC's record. Arising from the Boogie Down Bronx in the mid-80s as a far-flung hip-hop trio with a heap of new ideas to try out, Ultramagnetics 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 MCs have a list of firsts to their credit: the first rap 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 (Kool Keith) on the mic. Early singles like "Something Else" and "Space Groove" were blockparty staples and created waves in the underground, eventually landing the group on the disco-dominated Next Plateau label, where they released their debut. The following years found the group shuffling from label to label, releasing albums on Mercury and Wild Pitch before their eventual split in pursuit of new projects. This special release will feature Kool Keith and Ced Gee performing classic Ultramagnetic MCs songs, and sharing stories and history about the making of their iconoclastic catalogue.
