Legendary New York hip-hop act The Force M.D.'s return this festive season, with a song for Christmas. The new record entitled “This Christmas” is taken from the new Traditional Free Style album, which also boasts music from K7, George Lamond ,Angel Vasquez, Lissette Melendez, amongst others.
The Force M.D.'s were a vital crew in the early history of street hip-hop and one of the first vocal groups to fuse doo wop-influenced harmonies with hip-hop beats. By the time the group signed to Tommy Boy in 1984 as the Force M.D.'s (M.D. standing for "musical diversity"), they had evolved into a more straightforward R&B vocal group, distinguished mostly by their street attitude. The M.D.'s had a string of hits through the '80s, such as the Top Ten Jimmy Jam/Terry Lewis-penned ballad "Tender Love," which was featured in the movie Krush Groove, and the R&B number one, "Love Is a House”.
