"The Phorce represents the unity of strength, power, and creativity we bring toward our music...” - Michael ‘Dex' Brown

Flash Jenkins and Michael ‘Dex’ Brown are both Hamilton, Ontario born and raised and have been friends since the age of six. While other kids were playing hopscotch in the schoolyard, Flash and Dex were imagining themselves as a rap group. The nascent duo’s shared love of music would lead them to join the school band, before they combined for a winning performance of Run DMC’s ‘Walk This Way’ at the school talent show. The two friends then founded The Phorce in 2005.

Flash, who handles the majority of the MC’ing duties was given his name by his peers for his speed on the court, and quick wit in cyphers. His style has evolved over the years, from his work with The Northstarz and One Route Crew in the early ‘00’s to his cameo on the Dex produced Hamilton posse cut, ‘Steel City, Stand Up!’ which showcased his complex word play, unique writing style, and passion on the microphone.

Producer/MC Dex found himself in great demand in 2010, producing tracks for a variety of hip hop acts such as Canadian Winter, Eklipz from Crown A Thornz and singer Queen Cee, as well as remixing indie band Cowlick’s ‘Thunder Vs. Lightning’. He is also a member of the Hamilton based Future Shock collective of producers and musicians.

The group is currently putting the finishing touches to their as yet untitled debut album, which will be entirely produced by Dex and will feature cameos from Jon Dailey and Kobi from Canadian Winter.

With their first single, ‘She’s Bad’ b/w 'Back To The Future', The Phorce, will be sure to catch the attention of music lovers everywhere ,while living up to the group’s mission statement, which as Dex puts it - “is to join the movement that brings balance back to that ‘Good music’ sound, and make it sound like it never left”.
