Video: Dig Of The Day: Ultimate Force – I’m Not Playing (1989)

Peace and prosperity in 2019. Today we have a rare video of Ultimate Force‘s joint I’m Not Playing. This was the first group which Diamond D was a member of, you can check him out on the turntables. I’m Not Playing was released as a single in ’89 and appeared on their only album of the same title which saw the somewhat late release in 2007.

In words of Diamond D: “I started off as a DJ and producer for the group Ultimate Force. Me and Master Rob, and not the same Master Rob from Fantastic Five, just to clear the air on that note. ‘Best Kept Secret’ was recorded near the end of the Ultimate Force album. I had some extra studio time up at Jazzy Jay’s studio, and I was just fuckin’ around and I knocked it out. Being around Lord Finesse and Grand Puba a lot back then, becoming an MC just kind of rubbed off on me. I was already writing to myself, but I never pursued it up until this point.”

Produced by Jazzy Jay
