Jungle Brothers

The Jungle Brothers are an American hip hop group that pioneered the fusion of jazz and hip-hop and also became the first hip-hop group to use a house-music producer. The group began performing in the mid-1980s and released its first album, Straight Out the Jungle, in July 1988. With Afrocentric lyrics and innovative beats, the Jungle Brothers were critically acclaimed and soon joined the influential Native Tongues collective. The original trio comprised Michael Small (Mike Gee), Nathaniel Hall (Afrika Baby Bam, a homage to Afrika Bambaataa) and Sammy Burwell (DJ Sammy B). Sammy B left the group after the group released Raw Deluxe in May 1997. more »

(Word up) 
Jungle Brother  JB for short 
A bite a bit my rhyme and we almost fort 
But since he was a brother I thought that'd be wrong 
So I let him go  I let him run along (run along)
I write rhymes like I come from New York City 
My DJ spin the music down to the nitty gritty 
When the downstairs funky five days a week 
Searching and seeking for the Baby Bam beat 
The Afrikan rap that comes from within us 
Brothers heard about it now they wish they could've been us 
We did an album with no problem 
No we working on another with another Jungle Brother 
(Me) Q-tip, his name, he's into business, not into games 
So Q-tip when the light turns green, 
grab your bone and show them what I mean 

My bone is grabbed, this is what I mean 
I brag a grab, and here's the scene 
Q-tip, (Q-tip) from a Tribe Called Quest, 
Saw the Jungle Brother's album, oh yes 
So get the ducats it's coming out soon 
A month after March, two before June, 
It's nice with Ali Shaheed Mohammed, my DJ who 
Is real dominant (Mohammed, Mohammed) 
He and I form the funky Tribe 
If you want to get with it, just feel the vibe [Feel the vibe] 
Me and Ali are extremely radiant 
And to be heard like the horn of Gideon 

Get it? If not you're a goner 
Get wise or get something, cause your going to want to 
Lamp, after you hear from me 
The Tip from Quest my DJ's Ali 
Say it from the Catskills, to the Soho 
Listen to the words they say on the Promo 
To the bewildered 
Let it be said 
I'll mix you up more like DJ Red 
So Mike G, when the light turns red, 
Don't stop, proceed ahead 

Go on with your
Go on with your
Go on with your
Bad self 
Well, I'm going (Where?) 
Straight to the treetop 
Eating crazy fruit, so I can't stop 
Squating here, listen to the LP 
Straight Out The Jungle from the JBs 
Baby Bam beat keeps the bass bottom bouncing 
Suckers littering, girls ouncing 
Women inching, girls pinching 
Run to the record store to see if (???) is in 
Remixes, outfixes, we write it, you like it 
Rap music, house music 
No matter what it is, the JBs can do it 

Oh ya, (etc) 

It's coming
It's coming
It's coming
It's coming

How much is it? 599? Ahh just bring a twenty, bring a twenty 
At the sound of the ring The Promo will end, peace
