Newcleus Is Quietly Plotting Their 1st Album Since 1985's "Space Is The Place"
Since Newcleus first emerged, Hip Hop has obviously experienced a myriad of changes. As someone who was there to witness the birth of an entire culture, Cozmo watched its evolution unfold — some changes he applauds, while others he finds disappointing. But he has hope.
“The most exciting for me recently has been the trend of making original beats and tracks, rather than everything being completely sample-based. Don’t get me wrong, I love sampling, but there is nothing like creating a dope ass beat completely from your heart, soul and ability.
“There are a large amount of rappers who seemingly try to sound like each other. Style biting used to be the greatest taboo in Hip Hop. Now, it seems to be both encouraged and rewarded. Even worse, it leads to a stagnation of flows and cadences, which are essential to moving the art form forward. I have faith though that this will change with time.”
Jam-On-Returns is expected to arrive sometime during the first quarter of 2020.
