Bring It On! was released in 1983 by Churchill Records, a subsidiary of Augusta Sound, and represents one of James Brown's last studio albums in the classic funk era before his commercial decline.
Recorded at Augusta Sound studios in Augusta, Georgia, the album featured the band The J.B.'s, though in a reduced lineup, and was entirely produced by Brown.
The album did not chart on the main Billboard charts, but includes tracks like 'Bring It On... Bring It On' and 'Rapp Payback (Where Iz Moses)', which show Brown's foray into hip hop and early rap.
