Ced Gee’s founded Factshen Entertainment along with Philly rapper Grafiq. The label has several new groups signed and is currently planning the Ultramagnetic reunion album, as well as a re-release of Ultra Mag’s Funk Your Head Up LP.

“Me and Grafiq met in Manhattan at the Sister2Sister expo in August 1999,” Ced Gee explained to AllHipHop.com. “Grafiq was a big Ultramagnetic fan, and couldn't believe it was me. So on the strength of that we exchanged numbers and we shared the same vision of Hip-Hop.

“Because of my man the Jeru the Damaja, we were in the process of inking a deal with Open Door records which distributed Jeru's Heros4hire. The distributor folded so we’ve been on the grind with our Factshen Fam ever since.”

The re-release of the Funk Your Head Up will include original mixes from the song as well as a Beatminers remix of the song “Poppa Large.”

And Ced Gee answered the question eager Ultramagnetic fans have been asking since their last official group album, 1997’s Smack My B**ch Up.

“We are currently working on a new Utramagnetic album and we have new members Frank Beans and Grafiq, plus the original members,” Ced Gee said. “Me, Kool Keith, TR-Love, Moe-Love and Tim Dog. Ultra is in a zone. The album is coming out crazy.”

And after a long hiatus from the group due to internal problems, Ced Gee said that he and Kool Keith were working on the business logistics of re-forming the group. Keith has said that the internal problems arose when Ced sold old masters of their recordings to Tuff City, who subsequently issued what many felt were poor versions of old material.

“Kool Keith has recorded some songs with us,” Ced Gee said. “They are definitely going to be on the album. Ultramagnetic has been reinstated!”

Ultramagnetic MC’s are widely credited with being pioneers of the digital sampling revolution and released their first single, “” in 1986. Ced Gee also helped produce BDP’s breakthrough album, Criminal Minded.

Ced Gee’s most recent release is The Underground Show LP. For more information, visit http://www.thefactshen.com/
