   About Tha 4orce
BIO

A Producer, Rapper, D.J and Musical Engineer, 4orce has performed and toured with musical acts such as Gabrielle, Missy Elliot, MC Lyte, Gang Starr, Salt & Pepper, KRS 1 and Public Enemy.

His various remix and production work include: Ms Dynamite, Wan-Cee, Carl Carni, The Lights, Reef, Oleta Adams, Phoebe One, Foxy Brown, Blackstreet, Public Demand, LL Cool J, Organized Konfusion, Common, Gravediggers, Busta Rhymes, Alkaholiks, Lord Tariq & Peter Guns, Capone & Noreaga and The Beatnuts.

Steve has also completed many album projects with artists such as; Izzi Dunn, Noel McKoy, Rubic, Russell Nash and Poynt Blak as well as his own solo albums.

In 2000, the launch of Sacha Baron Cohens controversial character, Ali G, landed 4orce a role on the Friday night show Da Ali G Show on Channel 4.

This lead to the beginnings of a six piece group called Nash, for which 4orce co wrote and produced. They secured a deal with Polydor/Go Beat Records and although Nash found it hard to breakthrough in the UK, they sold 40,000 copies of their album The Chancer around the world, as well as charting in Australia & Asia with their single 100 Million Ways. The band sadly went their separate ways in 2002.

In 2002, 4orce was offered the 10-12pm slot on Itch FM. Naturally he took the job and he entertained listeners every Saturday night, playing the very best Hip Hop around and representing British Hip Hop at the same time. Amid all this, Force still had time to produce his own album, entitled Mind Tha Gap Anthems for BBE Records.

After spending a while presenting on MTV, 4orce is now back in the studio, remixing tracks for various artists and is still finding time to produce up and coming UK acts. He is also working on his own new material and DJs whenever he can.

4orce was involved with the MTV Base Tour's; hosting with Kat and playing at various venues up and down the country.

Previously 4orce has DJed for audiences of 2 to 25,000, playing at China White, Elysium, Wax, Pangaea, Equinox, Red Square, Café d Paris, Funky Buddha and NYT to name a few in Londons West End alone, and has also been fortunate enough to play at venues and festivals all over the world.

2008 will be a busy year for Tha 4orce, He has a new solo album called "Final 4ormation" set for release in january on his own label Mind Tha Gap Recordings, Followed up in June by "Mind Tha Gap Anthems (Version 2)" On BBE Records, He will also be touring with his band 4orce & The Unclassifiable's at a venue near you real soon, So check him out if you can 4orce is the future...
