Ultramagnetic Mc's
Ego Tripping/funky Potion
Their first release on Next Plateau Records, this instant 1986 classic slams from the first bar, that hard-as-hell beat
underpinned by stabs and the breathy 'ultra-magnetic-magnetic' chant beneath. Meanwhile, Ced and future legend Kool
Keith go to town with pseudo-science and a thinly veiled diss of Run DMC - 'Say what, Peter Piper, to hell with childish
rhymes'. It's a song shot through with promise they'd more than fulfil on their debut album, 1988's landmark 'Critical
Beatdown'. The flip, 'Funky Potion', doesn't coalesce with quite the same genius but is still more than a curio, with
the MC's doubling down on their futuristic nonsense approach to lyricism. Rufus Thomas' 'Do the Funky Penguin' is the
base for yet more stabs, discordant scratches and a kitchen-sink approach that shows just innovative the group were
prepared to be.
