GFE "Broken Time Machine"
 It's been called "a dark album for dark times". Between two wars, a devastated economy, rampant corporate & government corruption & a news media that's fallen asleep at the switch, America has a lot on it's plate. As usual GFE  addresses the issues, but instead of drowning in the misery they have somehow seamlessly blended their brand of social commentary with their trademark passion & positivity. In the same way they mix  cynicism with honesty & skepticism with hope, they bring together drum machines & samplers with live instrumentation, DJ's & rappers with smooth female vocals. Broken Time Machine is largely representative of the time at which it is being released. A product of weathering the storm of the Bush administration, and the precipice of what could either be the final plunge into chaos or the truning point to a new & better age.




  Three years in the waiting, Foul Mouth Jerk is back with a vengeance. His fourth solo LP is titled "Streetlight Music", a tribute to the pioneering days of hip hop, when jams were thrown in the park & electricity was stolen from city streetlights to power the turntables, amps & other equipment, and more importantly, originality & style were what mattered most. Jerk brings the solid foundation of the old school with an appearance by Grandmaster Caz of the Col Crush Brothers, the glory of the Golden Age with features by Masta Ace & El Da Sensei of the Artifacts, and the cutting edge of today's best underground talent with guest stars Breez Evahflowin, TopR, & MURS of Living Legends. Foul Mouth keeps pace with these heavyweights every step of the way with his usual cynical outlook & hilarious,  sometimes self deprecating sense of humor. 16 bulletproof bangers.$15.00 ea. shipping included.





 

GFE “Bigger Than It Really Is”- GFE’s 2004 release is their most polished full sounding album of the catalog. After years of requests to record an album of unavailable fan favorites from their live shows, the band finally delivered, in a big way. This CD is 100% live instrumentation and largely recreates the sound of their concerts. It features a very special appearance from the god father of funk himself George Clinton, on the single “Everybody Get High”, as well as strong showings from NYC battle champion Breez Evahflowin, and GFE regular collaborators B-Ski Rocks & IronFist. This album, possibly more than any embodies the band’s identity as “big, thumpin, politically charged, dance music”

 

 





 

GFE “Slactivism”- released in 2001 this CD may be G-force’s most renowned. It is a major contribution to their reputation for an eclectic style of combining live instrumentation with electronica. Using all tools at their disposal, from drum machines to live violins, samplers & synths to guitars, this may be GFE at it’s most creative. Featuring production from Jenny Junk, Brycon, Hockenberry, and Josh Blake as well as an appearance by New Jersey rap legend Tame One, this album helped push GFE into cult status.

 





 
Agent 23 “Self Full Filling Profess See”- The debut album from GFE visionary Agent 23 plays much like a mission statement of where he would like to see hip hop & music as a whole progress to. With three distinct movements, “Birth & Change”, “Growth & Struggle”, and “Inspiration & Victory” it steps forward with a much more mature & developed outlook than one would expect from most artist’s first outing. Containing both production & lyrical contributions from musicians & friends from across the country it has a smooth, very funky movement with some very heady lyrical content.





 
Agent 23 “Breakin Cages”- 23’s second go round is a landmark event in which he takes on all artistic responsibility. Doing all the production himself as well as every single verse with no help from any guests, it is an almost polar shift from the large group party vibe of his debut. This album is a very direct discussion of his opinions on the oppressive woes on today’s society and his ideas on what may help to ease those conditions. It intends to both curse the darkness & light a candle, with the occasional stop for some good party rock music.





 
Foul Mouth Jerk “Vespucci’s Ransom”- The sophomore release for GFE’s most jaded & serrated is decidedly darker & a little rougher than most of the crew’s albums. It’s content is consistently bass heavy and ranges in topic from economic struggle of blue collar America to love and heartbreak, to drugs & music itself. The Jerk is very lyrically complex and often political, with a sharp cynicism that is tempered by an intelligent sense of humor. It is hard core hip hop at it’s finest & very representative of his native New Jersey.





 
Foul Mouth Jerk “Skrilla Warfare”- On his third solo outing, the Jerk focuses on a more party rocking style, than his previous offering. Still as sharp & complex as ever, the Jerk offers a bit more tongue in cheek delivery on songs such as “Still Not an Asshole”. This album expresses a very thorough work ethic, not surprising from the self proclaimed “working man’s MC”, as well as an “enjoy the ride, before it’s over” vibe, not usually heard from the Jerk. All production is by the Number 3, and all verses are by FMJ with no guest appearances. Solid all the way through.





  Agent 23 & B-Ski Rocks “The Road Less Traveled”- For his third solo CD, 23 teams up with long time friend & frequent GFE collaborator B-Ski for production. This album is quintessential 23, the beats fit like a glove and he rises to the occasion. Topics include fatherhood, the travelling music culture, the 9 to 5 struggle, and much more. It includes guest appearances by underground stalwart Breez Evahflowin, American Music Award winner Jen Durkin of Deep Banana Blackout, and GFE’s own Adam Strange. Fourteen tracks of pure heat. Any fan of Agent 23 or GFE would be remiss not to add this to their collection.





 

 
Vice Squad "Vomit is the New Confetti"- The name says it all. Foul Mouth Jerk & San Francisco battle champion/frequent G-Force collaborator TopR Holiday come together like some sort of drunken Voltron to form Vice Squad. "Vomit..." is an album for the drinkers, smokers, brawlers, deviants & low lives. Light on positive messages, but heavy on talent this CD is dark, edgy and very funny. It features appearances by Conceit, and the Fist Family with production by Philo, Boac & members of GFE. This disc is not for the easily offended or the faint of heart. You must be this tall to ride with Vice Squad.
