Today we have a rare video of <strong>Ultimate Force<\/strong>&#8216;s joint <em>I&#8217;m Not Playing<\/em>. This was the first group which <strong>Diamond D<\/strong> was a member of, you can check him out on the turntables. <em>I&#8217;m Not Playing<\/em> was released as a single in &#8217;89 and appeared on their only album of the same title which saw the somewhat late release in 2007.<\/p>\n<p>In words of <strong>Diamond D<\/strong>: \u201cI started off as a DJ and producer for the group <strong>Ultimate Force<\/strong>. Me and <strong>Master Rob<\/strong>, and not the same <strong>Master Rob<\/strong> from <strong>Fantastic Five<\/strong>, just to clear the air on that note. \u2018<em>Best Kept Secret<\/em>\u2019 was recorded near the end of the <strong>Ultimate Force<\/strong> album. I had some extra studio time up at <strong>Jazzy Jay<\/strong>\u2019s studio, and I was just fuckin\u2019 around and I knocked it out. Being around <strong>Lord Finesse<\/strong> and <strong>Grand Puba<\/strong> 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.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Produced by <strong>Jazzy Jay<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"134086\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/video-dig-of-the-day-ultimate-force-im-not-playing-1989\/hqdefault-38\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/hqdefault.jpg?fit=480%2C360&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"480,360\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"hqdefault\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/hqdefault.jpg?fit=480%2C360&amp;ssl=1\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/hqdefault.jpg?resize=480%2C360&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"480\" height=\"360\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-134086\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Peace and prosperity in 2019.
