'''''I'm Not Playin'''''' is the first and only album recorded by the hip-hop duo Ultimate Force, which consisted of emcee Master Rob and DJ-producer [[Diamond D]]. The group was discovered and sponsored by [[Jazzy Jay]] in the late 1980s, and the album was recorded in his studio in the Bronx, New York, between 1988 and 1990. Ultimate Force was signed to [[Strong City Records|Strong City]] at the time, but due to label politics and the shuttering of distributor [[Uni Records]], the album was shelved and for the longest time the only available material from the duo was the 12" single "I'm Not Playin'", considered somewhat of an underground classic.
