JVC Force

by Andy Kellman Long Islands JVC Force, a rap group whose name stands for Justified by Virtue of Creativity for All Reasons Concerning Entertainment (that would actually make them J.V.C. Farce, but whatever) was a trio consisting of DJ Curt Cazal and MCs AJ Rok and MC B-Luv. Signed to B-Boy, the group broke out with an underground hit single in the form of Strong Island. The song would become the groups signature moment, and though a few successive tracks came close to rivaling the songs greatness, the group was never able to top it. The group left two albums in its wake, 1988s Doin Damage and 1990s Force Field.
