Islamic Force (also spelled I$lamic Force and $lamic Force) is a rap group from Berlin-Kreuzberg, Germany, composed mostly of people whose ancestors or parents come from Turkey. The group - now disbanded - is one of the first Turkish-speaking crews from Germany. Their first 12", "My Melody", appeared already in 1992. After the release of their full length CD "Mesaj", the group soon disbanded. Killa Hakan pursued a solo career, and Derezon produced tracks for Turkish-German female rapper Aziza A.
