"Jumpsteady's "Chaos Theory" EP was originally in the making since 1996/97, around the same time ICP was releasing The Great Milenko, but until now, the release date of Jumpsteady's very first solo effort was put off for many years. This album includes vocal contributions by everyone in the Psychopathic label, including ICP, Twiztid, Anybody Killa and Legz Diamond. There is even an 8th track where JS's daughter raps about candy, Pokemon and Barbie, which I think is so adorable! Perhaps THE signature track on the album is track #3, "In the Last Second," because here JS samples the Doctor Who theme!! Another really remarkable track is "Mad, Mad World," where JS expresses his anger over the wars going on in Afghanistan and our battle against terrorism. In other tracks he sampled beats and speeches from TV shows (such as the Twilight Zone) and Kung-Fu films, onto which JS would rap about being a Shaolin Ninja and a Dragonslayer. I really want to know when the final Joker's Card is coming out, because I don't think I can wait that long!!"

Its Tha Chaos Theory!

"Now, I didn't know what to expect from Jumpsteady. Him being Violent J of Insane Clown Posse's brother, I figured he would be a carbon-copy, naturally, being he is his brother and everything. Jumpsteady is extremely different, he sounds NOTHING like Violent J, he has an extremely unique voice. Very common in rap music theres about 6 or 7 of the same-sounding groups. Psychopathic has nothing to do with that. Every artist is unique and nothing like the same ol' stuff you hear on radio and TV which is why Jumpsteady is very, very fresh. The family, of course, is on this CD, and it makes good for the album. Even the album cover is cool, too bad Amazon doesn't have the cover on here, its really dark and midevil. While this album is an ep, and long in the making, it is worth every second of this album. The 'Intro' kicks it off, its short, but not anything outstanding. The second track 'Outcha Mouth' explodes through your speakers, its totally tight. Theres a little bit of Jamie Madrox on here as well, but it just adds to the freshness. The third track, 'In The Last Second' is pretty mediocre but its still pretty phat. Violent J and Shaggs bring their skillz as well, although I feel the beats could have been better, but its still good for the vocals and concept. 'Mad Mad World' is one of the dopest tracks on here. It has a nice, slower beat and Jumpsteady laces his flavor big time. I.C.P. also lend their vocals in and its okay, but Rob(Jumpsteady) is the gem here. Rob's music has some serious messages on this album, which make all of his lyrics awesome and thoughtful. The next track, which is also featured on "Hatchet History", is the almighty self-titled track 'Chaos Theory'. This got me interested in him and not sure what to expect, seeing that the track was very different from the rest on Hatchet History. I like this chorus alot, it has a deep rugged voice yelling 'THE CHAOS THEORY!'. You've problably heard this song if you own the compilation, but believe me, its only the start of the freshness on this bomb CD. 'Ninjas In Action' is kinda strange, but it is definitely fresh. It features the whole family(I.C.P., Twiztid, Blaze, Anybody Killa, Zug Izland and even the legendary Legz Diamond). Its an Anthem, and it serves the ninjaz and Ninjettez very well. Now, to the best track(in my opinion), the cover from I.C.P.'s Beverly Kills 50187, 'Joke Ya Mind'. Now, if I was to recommend a song on here to listen to if you have a second-thought on buying this album, check this song out, it will force you to buy this. It is pure dopeness, strait up. It is one of my all-time favorite tracks from anyone on Psychopathic Records. I won't spoil anything, and if you liked the original, this one will smoke you. The "hidden" track is 'Sammy Song', which features Rob's daughter Samantha, also featured on the hidden track from I.C.P.'s Forgotton Freshness 3 album. Its a cute track and she could problably make it when she grows older, she definitely has love for the juggalos and I sure...have love for her!
Cop this album before the cops cop you.

"come on, you gotta give props to the man, he put his daughter on the album on her own track and it sounds so phat. the entire album itself is worth it, but i have to say that made me think about putting my niece on a cd or something. the sound of the album itself is a much different sound then the rest of the juggalo sound, sort of as if it wasn't associated with psychopathic.
mad mad world should have made it big, but it makes you think about what is really going on.
joke ya mind was done magnificently. that has always been one of my favorite ICP songs."
