Jungle Brothers
Last updated: 4 hours ago
Jungle Brothers have been around since hip hop's Golden Era and are the longest running Hip Hop group in the world. They continue to adapt creatively to the changing soundscapes of both hip hop and DJ culture. Afrika Baby Bam and Mike G have been experimenting since they first appeared on the NYC hip hop scene with the release of the ground-breaking 'Straight Out The Jungle' in 1988. Their raw, energetic debut included "I'll House You" a bona fide international hit. A prototype for later envelope-pushing crews like the Wu-Tang Clan, the Jungle Brothers were among the first groups to aggregate a like-indeed posse of fellow rappers that became the legendary Native Tongues: De La Soul, A Tribe Called Quest, Monie Love and Black Sheep.
Free to sample and manipulate in a more sophisticated setting, the JBs mixed up breaks and beats that recalled the Bronx block parties of their youth, incorporating elements from jazz, soul, and funk classics. The resulting album, Done By The Forces Of Nature, ranks with other masterpieces of the era like the Beastie Boys Paul's Boutique.
Jungle Brothers – ‘Keep It Jungle’ - was released in September 2019. They continue to tour the globe bringing the block party to every stop along the way which now leads us to the new album in the works with the legendary Todd Terry.
