Ultramagnetic MC's: Raise It Up.



I'd never known there was a video for this song until 15 minutes ago. Taken from the classic The Four Horsemen LP which was just re-issued again recently, "Raise It Up" is a slice of that early 90's hip hop most of us are endeared with.
What makes this particularly great for me is the Godfather Don verse and his appearance in the video. For those that don't know, Don is a notorious recluse rarely giving an interview let alone appearing in front of a camera for his or anyone else's video. As you can imagine i got a little excited when i saw this and figured i'd be doing a disservice if i didn't share it.
On a side note, rumour has it that Godfather Don isn't even involved in hip hop these days, instead focusing on live instrumentation and work with a rock band of some description.... May it also be noted that Ultramagnetic MC's dropped the most groundbreaking yet under-appreciated album of 1988, Critical Beatdown.
Do the knowledge.
