"Detroit hip-hop group Clear Soul Forces prove they're no flash in the pan" - Gus Navarro (Detroit Metro Times)

About

The legend of Clear Soul Forces can be traced back to 2008. The lyrical Voltron consisting of Detroit Emcees; Emile Vincent aka E-Fav, Ilajide, L.A.Z. and Noveliss formed one fateful night in a chance-encounter studio session. The result of that encounter was the formation of Clear Soul Forces. Since the collective became a group in 2008 they've gone on to release 1 mixtape, 1 EP, and 5 LPs. They've also put work in on the stage headlining several tours, 4 international, and 1 domestic. After an incredible 2019 and release of their newest album STILL Clear Soul Forces they have returned backed by their label Fat Beats armed with a new album Forceswithyou!
