Ultramagnetic MC's are a seminal hip-hop group known for their innovative production techniques and complex lyricism, hailing from The Bronx, New York City. Formed in the early 1980s by Kool Keith, Ced Gee, TR Love, and Moe Love, the group's influence transcended their initial commercial success, impacting the sound and style of future generations of artists.

The Ultramagnetic MC's debuted with "Ego Tripping," but it was their 1988 album "Critical Beatdown" that solidified their place in the hip-hop canon. With Kool Keith's abstract lyrical approach and Ced Gee's sampling prowess, they set new standards for the genre. Throughout their career, they released a string of groundbreaking records, including "Funk Your Head Up" and "The Four Horsemen," that challenged and expanded the horizons of rap music. Their later works, such as "The Best Kept Secret" and the compilation "The Basement Tapes 1984-1990," showcased their enduring talent and consolidated their legacy as pioneers in the field. Despite never achieving the commercial stardom of some of their peers, Ultramagnetic MC's remain respected and influential voices in hip-hop history.
