The G-Force is the fun-loving brainchild of DJ Doctor Jay and Killa Sniff, who conceived the idea of a band at the tender age of 12 and 13. Their love for HipHop/R&B, the beats, the rhymes and the life has been the core of inspiration on their tracks and continues to be a major influence in their lives. In December 2005, after a night out with friends, the two decided to rekindle old flames, and test their abilities once more. After about 2 hours at a home-studio in the early hours of the morning, the duo came out with the smooth R&B jam, "My One and Only". With its content comprising of an honest personal encounter, the track caught the attention of businessman Mr. Raj Mohan, who urged the duo to pursue their talent with his support. Their first job would be; to create an anthem for the Ghanaian Football Team.
