The Four Horsemen is the third studio album by American hip hop group
Ultramagnetic MCs. It was released on August 10, 1993, via
Wild Pitch Records. Audio production was handled by Ultramagnetic MCs, except for four tracks produced by
Godfather Don, who helped to incorporate a darker, jazzier sound than the group's previous work. "Checkin' My Style" and "See the Man on the Street" were originally recorded in 1992 during Godfather Don-produced sessions for a projected solo album for
Kool Keith's alias Rhythm X. Those same sessions also produced songs released on Cenobites LP, the CD edition of which contains the original extended version of "Checkin' My Style," retitled "Return To Zero." The Four Horsemen includes recurring science fiction and baseball themes and was viewed by fans as a welcome return to the group's hardcore roots. Because of a manufacturing error, the current
Fontana Distribution pressing is identified as the
U.M.C.'s on the covering sticker under the shrink wrap. The album peaked at number 55 on the
Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums[1] and number 15 on the
Heatseekers Albums.[2]
