About this item

First time on vinyl for this slept-on 2006 LP from legendary NY hip hop group the Jungle Brothers, 'I Got U' is reissued as a coloured audiophile grade double LP (Opaque Baby Blue & Opaque Brown) remastered and rereleased with additional tracks

The Jungle Bros make an eclectic stylistic voyage stopping off at house music, via Afrocentric philosophies, James Brown, as well as the use of jazz samples, on 'I Got U'.

Jungle Brothers comprised of Michael Small (Mike Gee), Nathaniel Hall (Afrika Baby Bam), and Sammy Burwell (DJ Sammy B), are known as the pioneers of the fusion of jazz, hip- hop, and house music. they were the first hip- hop group to collaborate with a house-music producer.

The trio released their debut album, Straight Out The Jungle in July 1988. Their hip- house club hit single, "I'll House You" was added to the album in late-1988 reissues. Fostered by Kool DJ Red Alert, the Jungle Brothers influential work paved the way for acts such as De La Soul, A Tribe Called Quest, and eventually the Native Tongues collective that they founded.
