Essential Albums
- The Jungle Brothers’ visionary debut not only gave us "I'll House You," a hip-house track that swapped B-boy poses for jacking and voguing; it also laid the foundation for years of jazz-sampling hip-hop to come. A cornerstone of the Native Tongues tradition, the album combines socially conscious Afrocentrism, as on positive, funk-flecked tunes like "Straight Out the Jungle" and "Black Is Black," with playful puppy-love anthems like “Behind the Bush” and goofy schoolyard jokes like “Jimbrowski.” Just because the Brothers were smart doesn't mean they had to be serious.

About Jungle Brothers
Afrocentric James Brown fanatics from New York City, the Jungle Brothers were members of the loosely formed Native Tongues collective of the early 1990s. Offering enlightened rhymes over jazzy beats and production, the Jbeez helped create the sound of hip-hop's Golden Age. As fearless experimenters, they were also one of the first rap acts to incorporate sounds that were considered outside of the traditional hip-hop sample base--most notably house music and, later, club beats. Though never a commercial smash, the Jbeez remain one of rap's most influential groups.
