Hip Hop Legends The Force MD's Honor Atlantic City Music Insiders Before Their Concert At Wilson's
Before their show, the Force MD's presented their "Tender Love" Awards to three people from Atlantic City: Vocalist Angela Burton, Rob Schwartz, of WHO-MAG TV and ACX1 Studios and Vanessa Jordan of The National R&B Society and The Atlantic City Music Walk Of Fame.
HI-NELLA - On December 15, 2024, Hip-Hop/R&B group Force MD's performed live in concert at Wilson's Restaurant.
Approximately a half hour before their show, The Force MD's presented their "Tender Love" Awards to three people from Atlantic City that make the music industry move here at the shore.
First was long time vocalist and native Angela Burton.

Lastly, a "Tender Love" award was given to Vannessa Jordan the mind behind The National R&B Society and The Atlantic City Music Walk Of Fame.
After the award presentations The Force MD's put on a great show for fans.
The group members are pioneers in the world of music as they were one of the first to merge Hip Hop lyrics with R&B vocals. Blurred lines between hip hop and R&B seem common today with artists like Drake but when Force MD's came out, it separated them - in a good way - from their competition. Force MD's rapped as well as many MC's of the day and also could sing on key with many of their 1980's contemporaries. They charted on the Hip-Hop charts with songs like Itching For A Scratch and would also chart on R&B charts with hits like Tender Love.
The Force MD's in Concert had ladies swooning, couples hugging and later had everyone in Wilson's dancing.
