Prior to producing music, a group called Jam-On Productions were doing music shows in Brooklyn performing DJ shows playing funk and disco music. As the records were developed, the group was locked out of the studio mixing sessions which were handled by Jonathan Fearing.
Cenac and his crew signed a contract which led to them not getting any royalties from the record, while Cenac still managed to get publishing. Following the commercial success of both single, Sunnview then suggested to record an album. The group's music was then brought to Sunnyview Records by Webb, who requested a second rap song from the group, which led to them making another hip hop song titled "Jam On It". Following the lack of success, he was encouraged by a member of Jam On Productions to make a hip hop song, which led to the song "Jam-On's Revenge", a song Cenac described as an "anti-rap" song, as he felt hip hop music of the period was corny.Īfter bringing the songs "Computer Age" and "Jam-On's Revenge" to Joe Webb, The group then renamed themselves Newcleus and Webb released the single re-titled as "Jam On Revenge" which was released on Webb's label May Hew Records in 1983. Group member Ben “Cosmo D” Cenac attempted to bring some recordings made with Positive Messengers to music labels with little success. Positive Messengers' members were all Christian, which led to them creating songs with a message. The group was formed originally as Positive Messengers following DJ shows in parks and blocks as Jam-On Productions.
It was released in 1984 by Sunnyview Records.
Jam on Revenge is a studio album by the American group Newcleus.
