win forever

Joshua Major-Paschal, professionally known as Rilla Force, is a distinguished music producer, artist, and DJ who has established himself as a central figure in Boston’s electronic and urban music landscapes. He is the architect of RNBDM, a specialized sub-genre that expertly bridges the gap between the smooth melodic structures of contemporary R&B and the high-energy, bass-driven rhythms of future bass and hip-hop.

His professional trajectory is rooted in the local krump dance scene, where Rilla began producing to create custom soundscapes for movement. This foundational background informs his technical approach today, resulting in a sound that is entirely unique—characterized by intricate syncopation, "unorthodox" sound design, and a signature sonic "bounce" that defies traditional genre labels. This distinct style fueled his massive SoundCloud success, where he built a global following through viral remixes and original tracks that have garnered millions of plays. His contributions to the industry have been consistently recognized by the Boston Music Awards, culminating in his win as the 2024 Dance/Electronic Artist of the Year.

Beyond his musical accolades, Rilla is deeply committed to community engagement and mentorship. In 2022, he was honored as a Boys & Girls Club Alumni Hall of Fame inductee, returning to the organization where he first discovered his passion for production. His work in the public sector includes receiving an official citation from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts for his leadership in the Beats on the Beach program. Through partnerships with prominent non-profits like Save the Harbor/Save the Bay and Rawkstars, Rilla continues to leverage his expertise to mentor the next generation of creators and support local youth programming.
