Jungle Brothers Music
- Discography:
Jungle Brothers
Artist Overview
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.
