Soulsonic Force
Soulsonic Force (also referred to as Afrika Bambaataa & Soulsonic Force) are an American electro-funk and hip hop ensemble led by Afrika Bambaataa who helped establish hip-hop in the early 1980s with songs such as "Planet Rock". They were also influential in the birth of the electro movement in America and helped pave the way for modern dance music styles such as electro-funk as well as the entire Miami bass scene.
In 1982, Soulsonic Force and Afrika Bambaataa released a single called "Planet Rock". The song borrowed musical motifs from German electro-pop, British rock and African-American disco rap. All the different elements and musical styles were blended together; and in doing so, offered hip hop as a new vision for global harmony. The song became an immediate hit and stormed the music charts worldwide.
Their most well-known songs are "Planet Rock", "Looking for the Perfect Beat" and "Renegades of Funk" (which is one of the earliest political-conscious rap songs, alongside Grandmaster Flash & the Furious Five's "The Message").

Feel The Force
by: CrossYou can touch but you don't feel
Now you ain't deaf but you don't hear
You can hurt but you can't heal
Though you ain't blind you still can't see
Oh learn to feel
You can raise your hand but you can't reach
You can pray and you can preach
Lift up your voice no words come out
No matter how you jump and shout
Oh let it out
Feel the force
It lifts you up it takes you out
Feel the force
You just can't stop
It makes you sing and wanna shout
Tear down your prison walls
Like they ain't there at all
And if you think there's no escape - now listen
Just when you think you're trapped
You must be strong
Cos who's to tell you just what's right or wrong
Your mortal mind will show you
Just which road to travel on
Feel the force
It lifts you up it takes you out
Feel the force
You just can't stop
It makes you sing and wanna shout
Tear down your prison walls
Like they ain't there at all
Feel the force
Feel the force
Tear down your prison walls
Like they ain't there at all
Feel the force
It lifts you up it takes you out
Feel the force
You just can't stop
It makes you sing and wanna shout
Tear down your prison walls
Like they ain't there at all
I want you to feel
I want you to feel
