| has gloss | eng: Islamic Force is an Oriental hip hop group, originally from Berlin, who ultimately began the Oriental hip-hop movement as a way of creating an identity for minorities in Germany. The group was founded in the late 1980’s during a time of growth for hip-hop in Germany and was made up of members of different ethnicities, including lyric writer and rapper, Boe-B, vocalist Killa Hakan, whose families originally were from Turkey, DJ Derezon, whose ancestry was Spanish and German, and vocalist Nelie whose family hailed from Germany and Albania. Originally, their focus was on American hip-hop, and the group felt a strong connection to African American hip-hop, , but they soon began experimenting with Turkish music and were the first group to combine computer drum rhythms with Arabesque breaks. |
