His voice doesn't hit quite as hard or deep, but he's still holds his own on the track just fine.
even at one point doing a little "wikki wikki wikki." A new member takes the place of Cozmo or Chilly as the traditional, lead MC and does a pretty good job of emulating the style and the effect of his predecessors. The Newcleus kids ( Kid Fresh and Lil'-O-Me) are still on-hand, filling pretty much the same role they did on the original hits, ad-libbing with their vocoder voices.

Though for some reason they deny the connection: "no, we're not talking about TV it's not Theodore and Rudy." What is it, then, if not a Cosby Show reference? Of course it's a Cosby Show reference! Huxtable, for those of you too young to remember, is the family name of the characters from The Cosby Show. The song is called "Huxtable House Party," an ode to the The Huxtable dance, and it came out in 1987. I can't say I expected to enjoy this 12" when I put it on my turntables for the first time, so it was really a nice surprise. They retain more of the lively, old school vibe of the original line-up, but still steer themselves more in the raw hip-hop direction of The Next Generation.You know, as opposed to that pop 80's sing-songy style the original crew had started drifting into with songs like "Why." This is one of those in-between-stage Newcleus joints, and it's actually pretty good. It featured some original members, and some new members who didn't stick around to be part of the "Next Generation." This version of the group never released any albums, but they did put out a couple 12" singles on Super Power Records in the late 80's. But there was a short-lived iteration of Newcleus in between these two formations. And you probably have at least heard of Newcleus: The Next Generation, who came out with an album and a bunch of singles in the 90's - it was mostly new members, but a couple of the kids from the original line-up were in that one. Of course, you all know who Newcleusare, and remember their classic jams: "The Wikki Wikki Song," "Jam On It," "Computer Age," etc.
