Review
There weren't many bands utilizing a hip-hop format in the mid-'80s, making Stetasonic quite unique on the pop front in 1986. While their subject matter was invariably light and their raps now hopelessly tame and effete, they were groundbreaking at the time and retain a certain charm. ~ Ron Wynn, Rovi| On Fire (1978 Album by T-Connection) | |
| On Fire (1989 Album by Michel Camilo) |

On Fire is the debut album from hip hop group Stetsasonic. The group is famous for being one of hip hop's first live bands, a style that was influential over a number of later artists such as the Roots. The album was originally released in 1986; record label Tommy Boy Records re-released it in 2001 on compact disc for the first time with three bonus tracks. In 1998, the album was selected as one of The Source's 100 Best Rap Albums.
