From the 1984 Album: "Jam On Revenge"...(Click "show more" for artist info)..
Newcleus is an American electro and old school hip hop group that gained popularity in the early 1980s. The group is primarily known for its 12-inch single "Jam-On's Revenge" (re-released as "Jam on Revenge (The Wikki-Wikki Song)" (1983)) and "Jam on It" (1984).
A precursor to the group, known as Jam-On Productions, was formed in 1977 in Brooklyn, New York City, New York, and included teenagers Ben "Cozmo D" Cenac and his cousins Monique and Pierre "Pete" Angevin. The group's popularity grew as it played block parties in Brooklyn. By 1979, the primary group's members were Cenac, Yvette "Lady E" Cook (who would later marry Cozmo D), Monique Angevin, and Bob "Chilly B" Crafton (who would later marry Angevin). The coming together of families inspired the name change to Newcleus.
Newcleus recorded "Jam-On Revenge," a block-party favorite featuring vocals that were sped up. The track impressed record producer Joe Webb, and it became the group's first single in 1983 on Mayhew Records. Retitled as "Jam On Revenge (The Wikki-Wikki Song)", the track reached the Top 40 on the U.S. R&B chart. The group eventually signed with Sunnyview Records, which was later acquired by Rhino Records in the 1990s.
The follow-up, "Jam on It," did well on the Billboard Hot 100, reaching #56. "Computer Age (Push the Button)" reached the R&B Top 40. The Cenacs and the Craftons continued to record until 1989.
Neither Newcleus albums, Jam on Revenge and Space Is the Place, sold well. The deleted Jam on Revenge album is now regarded as a classic, not only because of the well-known singles, but also because of album cuts such as "Destination Earth."
"Newcleus" released several albums in the following years, but these were the creations of producers putting out material under the Newcleus name. Some of these featured classic Newcleus tracks touted as live versions (but simply added crowd noise atop the original tracks).
In 2005, Cozmo D released an album, Destination Earth: The Definitive Newcleus Recordings, a collection of hip-hop tracks from the group's entire catalog. This collection supersedes the Rhino/Atlantic Records compilation Jam On This! The Best Of Newcleus. The majority of the songs on this release were restored and remastered from the original master tapes. The definitive versions of the songs "Destination Earth" and "Why" taken from this CD were also released on 12-inch vinyl on the German record label Dominance Electricity. Together with remixes by Sbassship and Reeno, the cover illustrations are by Bill Wray (known for his work on the 1990s cult TV cartoon The Ren & Stimpy Show).
Newcleus is working on a second collection titled Returned to Earth, a companion volume to Destination Earth, which will collect all of its electro works onto one disc, restored and remastered from the original tapes. The album will also include two new songs.
Although both Newcleus albums, Jam on Revenge and Space Is the Place, have been remastered and reissued on CD, the song "Where's the Beat" from Jam on Revenge was removed from the track listing. These albums were previously available in the United States only on vinyl and audio cassette. However, both albums' original track listing and cover art were also available on CD, manufactured and distributed by Bellaphon Germany through Sunnyview Records in 1988.
Newcleus' songs have been used in several video games. "Computer Age" appears in Mat Hoffman's Pro BMX, and "Jam On It" appears in both Dance Dance Revolution Ultramix 2 and DJ Hero 2, the latter featuring a newly re-recorded version of the song.
Chilly B died at age 47 of a stroke on February 23, 2010.

Much love to all my Gen X brothers and sisters out there! We did it like nobody else could. I was 11 years old when this came out living in New Jersey. My fam came from BK, NYC by way of Puerto Rico and we used to get down to this at my uncle's apartment in Red Bank New Jersey. It was dope then and still dope this day!
I am! 💖
@@tntshuffle-9799sending love back to you! GenX! 💖
Uh...old school hip hop was the greatest. This is what we were break dancing to in the mid-80s and for my money it's still better than 99.9% of the rap music that came out in the last 40 years. This song still gets my old body out of a chair and dancing in 2024.
We keeping that same energy!!!!
I agree. I love Nucleus, Grand Master Flash, Will Smith and DJ Jazzy Jeff
They battled Superman and didn’t kill a fellow Black man.🖤
Me too brother..i won my 7th graade talent show in 85' to this song.😂i remember this dropped in 84'..Ground breaking hip hop..so many memories🥺
Yeah I use to break dance on This jam
One of the most historical bass lines ever
Absolutely. Pretty much anytime I install new new stereo equipment in a vehicle, four wheeler, or whatever I always go to this “to check out the sound, check out the sound” great all around sound. Lows, mids, and highs. That’s actually what I’m doing now. Just put new 2 kicker 8s, 6 1/2s and tweeters on my 13 year olds 4 wheeler. And it sounds good
Played by a real bassist not midi!! R.I.P Chilly B 😢
Unfortunately it wasn’t done with a guitar as depicted in this video it was actually done by a analog synthesizer Roland had a product called bass line that would do the same stuff 🤔💯⚠️
@@jpbrennan72that was actually a synthesizer not a bass guitar
@@rosieclark3661 So that guitar playing was fake?
I was 15 in 1983. It was a tumultuous time for me, I was put in foster care, and kind of lost in life. I had a friend, Bettina, and her and I had a piece of cardboard, her huge boombox, and we went to all the local breakdance contests, we would lay our cardboard everywhere we went, do windmills and spins and pop locks, and it was the one thing that helped me through those really tough years. The 80's memories stir strange feelings for me, but this reminds me of what was good back then. I wish kids did this these days instead of ipads, lol ☺️ im so happy to have found this. 🌎
I WAS 13 YEARS OLD, I WASN'T NOTHIN NICE, I USE TO WINN AH LOT OF DANCIN!" CONTEST, TGEY DIDN'T WON'T 2 BATTLE ME. HARD N DA PAINT🎨 4REAL THO!
DA GOOD OLE DAYZ!" 😎✌️
I wasn't into breakdancing, but this song always brings me back to the old roller skating rink as a kid. Jam On It!
I used to play this song every weekend at a roller rink in Michigan USA.
@PureJoyful that's awesome, I grew up in South Jersey, and we had a choice between 2 ghetto skating rinks.. lol
One of THE greatest bass hooks EVER! I remember this was played on a boom box at the back of the school bus every day for a month.
This was James in the cafeteria
Yes. I remember hearing that iconic bass line for the first time sometime in 7th grade, and being immediately hooked…
I also remember hearing several songs on the radio during that time with nearly identical bass lines to Jam On It-close enough to know where they were derived from but different enough to not be an exact copy. But I haven't heard them since and don't know who the artists were…

Those were some great times, weren't they? To be young back then....
This is a pure classic. Early foundation to a global genre
All races of ppl in the crowd in perfect harmony
That was the 80's
@@nobleman_81 I wish we could go back to that decade ! It was great .. And there was little to no race baiting . Everyone got along with everyone , no woke agenda.
@@robg7970 Facts. Definitely a time to remember. No cell phones and people actually went outside in the spring and summer
@@nobleman_81 yep , and if you wanted to talk to your friends, you meet somewhere or go over their house , and always find something to do . Going to the movies was special .hell , having your own car was super special ! Lol
Music as no color just like money we all love
Hands down the anthem in Brooklyn, NY in the mid 80's. I was under 15 years old and remember the cardboard stage. Never happened again since. At least I got a few ghetto blasters from those days in my collection. Thank you Jam On Production Crew. RIP Chilly B.
This is why NYC is the Mecca of hip-hop!!
R.I.P Chilly B a true legend.
Chilly b learned how to play that beat in my basement
Who did their outfits?
Who still rocking this in 2050!🎶🎧🎶
If I'm still alive then I know I deft will!
🙌🏽
Nice.
Back to the future 2021 please jam
if im still here i will
Those break dancers are so fly
THANK YOU, HIP HOP...THANKS FOR ALL OF THE YEARS THAT YOU WERE THERE FOR ME SINCE MY BIRTH IN 83
(and sorry I wasn't able to prevent the decay of the culture by the vultures but nonetheless, I promise to continue evolving my craft, being an individual and will never forget what you've done for me... you're still in my heart and will always be!)
❤
That bass will wake the dead
Oh come on! This legendary jam didn't make a billion hits yet?!!! This jam was Fire!! Play on play on!!
There's a couple other uploaded videos on here that have 30+ million views in 5-6 years. Jam on It will always bring us back to good times in the late 80's into the early 90's
Used to skate to this back in the 80s
When I would go skating my favorite song man I miss 80s
Whoooo....YESSSS!
Sweet childhood memories pop up. 😅😂👌
A tune way beyond its years! It was bomb! I still jam it 40 years on!
Yes true
Absolutely!
I would have taken the Olympics breakdance competition seriously if they ran this track.
A major miss on their behalf. The Blue Print to Breaking 🙈
After all these years, this is still my favorite hip hop song. It was the one that sparked my love affair.
clever.
Same here
Same as me I loved breaking and popping 🏴
I was a little boy when this song came out was one of my favorite songs 😂
Me too, I was 4
This joint Never gets old!
Born 1971. Hartford CT....of course I rem...❤❤🎉🎉🎉
This is rollerskating music. I always love this song. Make me want to rollerskate.
The real OG's of Hip Hop
That beat is crazy.. DJs back then was way before their time.
This is probably the best electronica sound of all time from beginning to end from voice to beat and baseline perfect underrated definitely but will rock for all eternity ❤
I miss them days. Still dancing 2it. One of my favorite songs. Hands up in the air ,,jam on it,,,
1984 summer in Philly I was 9 this jawn started my 36 year love of hip hop. Hadn't heard this song since 85 or 86 and out of nowhere the lyrics flowed out like they've been in a vault for 35 years..nostalgia immediately..so simple then
Best of hip hop!
No color no race just music♥️i was ine of the first B girls, i became popular and loved starting to see females coming out getting down, loved it
That’s what black culture does it unites people
This one will always remain a classic.
Heavily bumped on my padio during all my barbecues and family functions in my middle class neighborhood...sis birthday tomorrow! May 2024!
I miss the ole days when people looked normal no eye lashes no drag queen makeup and fake body parts......people just having a nice time
this is the song that made me fall in love with hiphop back in the 80s..I remember trying to TAPE this song so many times waiting for it to come on and back then u can only hear hiphop on AM radio
Bruh I’m 34 yrs old this a lil ahead of my time lol but this is so tough this beat is ridiculous 🤦🏾♂️🔥🔥🔥
Yes indeed. 1980s
great memories. when HipHop was in its infancy
I MISS my Boom-Box! 🎶
These days people try too hard but back in those days guys was just relaxing
This entire album is great.
Every track is a trip
First Newcleus record I bought was Jam on Revenge remix / Destination Earth remix. Their album really caught my eye too with that cartoon cover art. My friend had that. They were very popular in the UK among youngsters in the know about these fantastic tunes coming out of NYC. While others were into Duran Duran and Wham!, we were into Newcleus, Bambaataa, Davy DMX, Run DMC, etc.
Remember when this track comes on. That's when you have to battle on the dance floor
Yes. Even here in Nigeria of 80s
That’s my generation jams 1984
Why does this beat automatically make you low key start pop locking😅
Definately
por que nacio para ser eternooooooooo
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I am popoin while I am posting this. 💪🦵👣🙏
Lol yes
Syncopation
Real old school ❤ from a true 80s baby Mississippi 1❤🎉
The greatest bass line in the history of music
Funky Beat, by Whodini. Sheesh!🎛😖🔥.

I'll always have this as 1 of The early Great Selections of Classic Raw Hip-Hop Jams of all Times.From 1984 to 2024 and beyond.😎👍🏾🌴
Timeless song! this is true hip hop in its truest form! look at all the diff races having a great time, only rap can bring people like this. Not the trash u have now..
I’m still here y’all ! We stay rocking this shit !
Such a killer tune. I've always loved it. Most do. The band Rehab covers this at many of their shows.
I remember this was a bad to the bone song when I was a little kid eating jello drinking hot cocos Kool aid and running to the ice cream truck for red and blue and white Popsicles for a quarter and those were great days compared to now.
From our interview with Cozmo D: "Everybody had a Superman rhyme, but I had the BEST Superman rhyme."
Awesome tune still play my vinyl
Jimmy B has the most awesome voice!
With this i move all time❤
Song of the centuries
Jam on it! ☺🎸
Black music at its fullest….No N word, No sex, No drugs……🎉
The best space rappppp.all time...Wiki Wiki Wiki
Don't urge you were not there this is real music
In the conversation for best hip hop song ever
Who else heard this on the radio WHEN IT WAS RELEASED and was break dancing to this banger?
Some of my best times in my young life. 19 years old and my whole life ahead of me. After all these years I'm still singing most of the lyrics. An absolute classic. This along with Electric Kingdom - Twilight 22 and Boogie Down Bronx - Man Parrish, these are the ones that will never leave me.
Yeah Man Parrish was part of it
This was futuristic then and right on point today. Amazing this still goes hard. And computer age was definitely ahead of it's time.
Nothing beats old school hip hop. Nothing!
If you have a timeless masterpiece like this jam, it doesn't matter what year it is, it is still ahead of its time!
Absolute classic
Salute st. Laz for getting the story out there how this song wss created lol. 💯💪🏾
Such a feel good song of my childhood...
