Jungle Brothers were formed through the high school friendship of Nathaniel "Afrika Baby Bam" Hall and Michael "Mike G." Small. They embraced a range of styles, including house music, Afrocentric philosophy, James Brown, and the use of jazz samples. As one of the original members of the Native Tongues Posse, they collaborated with notable artists such as Queen Latifah, De La Soul, A Tribe Called Quest, Monie Love, and Black Sheep. Their most successful single was "I'll House You," a collaboration with house producer Todd Terry.
Members: Nathaniel Hall (Afrika Baby Bam), Michael Small (Mike G.), Sammy Burwell (DJ Sammy B).
Jungle Brothers' unique blend of genres and collaborations made them an influential but often underrated part of the alternative rap scene.

De La Soul and A Tribe Called Quest may have been more commercially successful, but the afrocentric, jazz political rap movement and unfadeable Native Tounge Massive started with the Jungle Brothers. Their debut full-length Straight Out the Jungle opened up many doors that are walked through by artists like Mos Def, Common and even Kanye West. Their taste for jazzy horn samples helped kick-start the entire jazz-rap movement, and their James Brown fixation was one of the first. Plus, the group's groundbreaking collaboration with legendary house producer Todd Terry, "I'll House You," paved the way for numerous hip-house hybrids that shot up the dance and pop charts over the next few years and appeared to be a staple on every East Coast Rap Album from '88 until '92.
