Outstanding.......2007-03-10

Since the early 80's when our break dance crew used to battle it out in the crime riddled Bairnsdale Ghettos (that description may be an outrageus fabricated exaggeration)

Next to Grand Master Flash and The Furious Fives blistering Scorpio track...Newcleus' Jam On It was always high on our rotation list!

I spent the last 20+ years without hearing it so it's bloody awesome to have my very own copy again!!!

newcleus.......2007-02-12

It was very difficult to find this old release. But now that I've found it, It's on and popping.

Excellent rap album with technodance grooves.......2006-04-10

Newcleus had some dynamic songs that smartly used the techno dance sound under their raps. Cosmo D had the coolest raps over those songs. I still like Jam on It from 1984, which still sounds funky and catchy today. Had some humor in its lyrics too. But there are other surprises such as the 7 minute Computer Age, which came a year later in 1985. In most cases, they rival Afrika Bambaataa and the Soul Sonic Force in terms of the song quality. Most of the songs average around 5, 7 and 8 minutes, but they keep you entertained and dancing wild too! Jam still sounds good in its full 7 minutes--the 45 single that I got in 1984 doesn't even come close to it. The 1997 remix for Jam on It is just as catchy too. This group is underrated but made their mark in the 80s.

Don't hate congratulate.......2005-01-07

I would just like to start of by saying that "Jam on it" is one of my favorite dance songs. It has a good beat and the lyrics are slamming. I'm only 25, but I listen to old schools songs and old school groups and Newcleus is still up there in my book. Not only was "Jam on it" was a hit song, they also had songs that people slept over. Newcleus had good music and clean lyrics. Not only did they video play on video music box all the time but they also went on tour with "Cameo and RunDMc" Let's not forget some of the new talents that has sample some beats for them too. So yes, don't hate, congratulate

Up close and personal...Angieshubee.......2005-01-06

Yes! I was up close and personal with the Jam On Production Crew. Back in Brooklyn when they "ROCKED" block parties. Other crews were pissed when the "JOPC" came on the scene. Cosmo D always pumped up the volume and started with the rock jam "WE Will Rock You" and just then the crowd gathered around like ants on a crumb. Yes, I was there...CLOSE & Personal...really loved that "brother" Chilly B. He had the smooth rap sounds that made the ladies scream "OOOWEEE!" That bass line was classic, I'm talking a real bass guitar. These guys were about messages in their music whereas todays' rappers are about lyrics. Oh and don't snooze on that track "Push the Button". Yo, Chilly B rock that track and listen to the message, kinda sound true in this now technology world. FYI, Push The Button was played during the credits on Big Momma's House. Jam On It was played on Boyz In The Hood. No they were not rappers in the rapper sense of the word, but Newcleus made it on Soul Train and you had to big to get on Soul Train. I love Newcleus just like they were "family!"
