When I first met Clear Soul Forces, they already had something going for them: the cosign of one of Michigan’s best emcees. Detroit mainstay Finale introduced me them at a show in Lansing, Mich., after being so impressed with the group—Wimpy, J-Roc, E-Fav, and producer/emcee Ilajade—from a recent performance. Since that introduction in 2008, the group hasn’t disappointed: their undeniable work ethic and natural group chemistry has garnered cosigns from or collaborations with the likes of Justus League producer Khrysis, multiplatinum producer/D12 member Mr. Porter, Frank William Miller Junior of RappersIKnow, and many more. After successful performances at A3C and South By Southwest, they perform today (Monday, July 11) at the Brooklyn Hip-Hop Festival. With the growth shown between 2008’s Clear Soul Radio and last year’s The Departure EP, their music grind is just as official as their hustle. Read below for their tips on how to hold down the D nationwide, worst video game experiences, and highlights from their The Departure EP.
