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.

The Jungle Bros embraced of a range of styles -- including house music, Afrocentric philosophy, a James Brown fixation, and of course, the use of jazz sample. Michael Small (Mike Gee), Nathaniel Hall (Afrika Baby Bam), and Sammy Burwell (DJ Sammy B). 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 success would pave the way for De La Soul, A Tribe Called Quest, and eventually the Native Tongues collective that they founded.
