Jumpsteady has been with Psychopathic Records since day one. In fact he was there before Psychopathic due to the fact the he and Violent J are brothers. Jumpsteady even sent Violent J money to help out with his career back in the day when Violent J was still struggling to rise up.
At that time, Jumpsteady (Rob Bruce) was serving the U.S. Army in Operation Desert Storm in the early 90's.When he came back from Desert Storm he joined up with his brother, and helped out Psychopathic Records. He was placed as one of the Chief members. Jumpsteady has been more of the behind the scenes ninja for Psychopathic. The first song he was featured on was ICP's "Taste" off of the very first jokers card "Carnival Of Carnage" which came out in 1992. A lot of the lyrics he spit on that track were political, he apparently has some strong feelings of the government today.After "Carnival Of Carnage" Rob's rapping was not much heard of until 1996 when ICP put out their "Tunnel of Love" EP, and there was an advertisement for a upcoming Jumpsteady album called "Chaos Theory." After the announcement of the upcoming release of "Chaos Theory" it wasn't again mentioned for a number of years.It is said that Jumpsteady finally hit the studio for his solo album because he felt that he had broken a promise the Juggalos, and now it was time to owe up to it. So finally in 2002, six years after it's first mention Psychopathic announced once again that "Chaos Theory" was on it's way soon.The 19 of July 2002 marked the first day of the third annual Gathering Of The Juggalos, and amongst other surprises one of the biggest surprises was the release of Jumpsteady's "Chaos Theory". The CD was devastating and was an immediate hit with the Juggalos. Co-Written by Jamie Madrox (Twiztid) there were many other artists featured on the album including ICP, Twiztid, ABK, Blaze, Syn of Zug Izland, and the legendary Legz Diamond. Also featured on the album was Rob's very own young daughter Samantha. The loudest complaint about the album was that it was only a EP, and Juggalos were disappointed at such a short album after waiting so long.Although Jumpsteady's album took so long until it was finally released at the Gathering, Jumpsteady was still doing a little rapping here and there. Mostly on album's of ICP, he was featured on many tracks throughout the years before his debut album. There is even a track on ICP's "Forgotten Freshness Vol. 3" called "Take Me Home" that Jumpsteady and Violent J rap with their mom (Linda), Rob's wife (Nancy, who happens to be the sister of longtime Psychopathic friend Myzery who was also once signed under them), Robs daughter Samantha, and their sister Kris.After the release of "Chaos Theory" he could be found touring with many Psychopathic artists, opening, and appearing as a special guest. His first full set took place at the Gathering in 2003 where took the stage as the first performer on the first day of the gathering. He finished up his set with a grand finale of "Sammy's Song" where he brought his daughter out onto the stage to perform along side him. It was at this gathering the Rob announced the release of his second (and probably last) album.This time Juggalos didn't have to wait nearly as long. His second album "Master Of The Flying Guillotine" was released in February 2005. This was a full length album this time and featured amongst other, Violent J, Delusional, Samantha, and the return of Myzery.His last tour was the Psychopathic Hatchet All Stars tour, where he opened for Esham, Blaze and ABK. Others that opened a long with him were Filthee Immigrants, and Drainage X. ICP and Twiztid made special appearances during this tour.So you may wonder, what was Jumpsteady doing all the rest of the time? When Rob joined up with Psychopathic, he became one of the big guys in Psychopathic. He is a very busy ninja helping Psychopathic keep turning. He is largely in charge of the booking of tours, promoting music for the Psychopathic artists, the humongous task of organizing annual Gathering Of The Juggalos.Jumpsteady was also a wrestler in JCW, and won the championship many times as the wrestler Evil Dead.In 2000 he played a part in "Big Money Hustlas" a movie starring ICP and Twiztid and including many Psychopathic artists and friends.In 2001 he and two other men, N-Cubed, and Tall Jess finally put the finishing touches on a game that took seven years in the making until they called it good. It was based off of a game that the Psychopathic group played when they were younger along with friends. It definitely came a long way since they were kids and it was in it's original notebook paper version. The game is called "Morton's List" and it was released at the Gathering Of The Juggalos in 2001.In 2004 he launched a European branch of Psychopathic records dubbed Europathic. He was the CEO in overseas division until it was announced that they were not getting nearly as much out of it as they were putting in, so they would "go back to the drawing board" and deal with Europe at another time in the future.In 2006 Jumpsteady got behind the mic one more time to collaborate with long time friend and hype man DELUSIONAL. The collaboration was brought up in 2005 when Delusional recorded the track Spur Of The Moment for the Master of the flying guillotine album. It will appear on Delusionals up coming album The Preparation. Available now on Anti-Authority Records.Jumpsteady might not be a ninja you see in the public eye a lot, but that is because he is working his ass off to bring us a damn fresh time, and he always succeeds.
