They also continue to tour and do shows all over the world as Newcleus along with Jam-On Productions original member Al "T" McLaran. Cozmo D and Lady E continue to work on and finish the perhaps final Newcleus album, "Dreams In The Distance". Tragically, in February of 2010, Chilly B suffered a stroke and passed away. Adding another all-time classic Electro song with "Computer Age (Push The Button)" and also a Breakbeat classic with "Automan", Newcleus solidified their place in Hip Hop and Electro history as true innovators and pioneers in the genres. They toured nationally with Cameo through 19, and then were part of the 1st national Hip-Hop tour in history, The Fresh Festival, with Run DMC, Kurtis Blow, Whodini and The Fat Boys. They also established themselves as the first Hip-Hop band, playing all of the instruments themselves live on stage. In 1984 Newcleus topped "Jam On Revenge" by releasing an all-time Hip-Hop and Electro classic, "Jam On It". When it was re-released later that year on Sunnyview Records, it had become "Jam On Revenge (The Wikki-Wikki Song)." A huge street success, the track became known unofficially as "the Wikki-Wikki song" (after the refrain). The track, "Jam-On's Revenge," immediately impressed producer Joe Webb, and it became the group's first single, released as "Jam-On Revenge" by Newcleus featuring Cozmo & The Jam-On Production Crew in 1983 on Mayhew Records. They forgot the 'S' so 'Jam Ons Revenge' became 'Jam On Revenge,' they forgot the hyphen between 'Jam' and 'On' and they added 'The Wikki Wikki Song' to the end. It came out on May Hew Records, and they messed up.

With several minutes left at the end of the tape, Newcleus added a favorite from their block parties, with the vocals sped up to sound like munchkins. And because of Jam On Productions, the first recorded was billed as Newcleus featuring Cozmo and the Jam On Crew. It was re-released later that year on Sunnyview. The foursome originally took on the name Positive Messenger, but would later name their group Newcleus as a symbol of the coming together of their families.īy 1982, Cozmo had nurtured a unique sound using synthesizers and eclectic electronic gadgetry, and the quartet recorded a demo tape of material. The track impressed record producer Joe Webb, and it became the groups first single in 1983 on Mayhew Records. The group included Cozmo, his wife Yvette ("Lady E"), Niqué, and her future husband Bob "Chilly B" Crafton. In 1981 Cozmo decided to create a recording group as an extension of Jam-On. Many members (MCs as well as DJs) came and went as Jam-On rocked parks and block parties all over the borough. Newcleus's 'Na Na Beat' (Sunnyview) finds the crew still unable to recapture the juvenile elec- trospunk of 'Jam on It.' Dinosaur: 'Repulsion' b/w 'Bulbs of.
