Page "Jungle Brothers" Paragraph 1

Their first album, Straight Out the Jungle, was released on an independent record label ( Warlock ).

The single " I'll House You ," added to the album in 1989, is known for being the first hip-house record recorded outside of the Chicago scene, which was a club hit that drastically changed the way the hip-hop and dance-music industries worked.

In spite of the commercial failure of Straight Out the Jungle, Warner Bros. Records soon signed the group and released Done By the Forces of Nature in January 1990.

The album was a critical smash at the time, though it has since been largely ignored by hip-hop critics in favor of the similarly acclaimed alternative hip-hop album 3 Feet High and Rising by De La Soul, released the same year.

Also in 1990, the Jungle Brothers contributed the song " I Get a Kick " to the Cole Porter tribute album " Red Hot + Blue " produced by the Red Hot Organization.

Following a four year break, the Jungle Brothers returned in 1993 with J Beez Wit the Remedy, another commercial disappointment.

Their next album, V. I. P.

was produced by Alex Gifford of Propellerheads and, during production, they found time to add their vocal stylings to the Propellerheads tracks " Take California ( And Party )" and " You Want It Back ".

Their latest album to contain any new releases is 2002's All That We Do.
