Idler

Idler is a US hip-hop label that was established in 1986 as a subsidiary of Warlock records. It was founded and managed by Tony D. Throughout its history, Idler has been home to renowned artists such as the Jungle Brothers, MC Serch (who later formed 3rd Bass), JVC Force, and King Tre. While initially focused on hip-hop, the label gradually shifted towards house music, particularly with early releases from Todd Terry under the aliases Royal House and Orange Lemon. This evolution eventually led to the creation of hip-house tracks like "I'll House You" by the Jungle Brothers. Currently, Idler's catalog is under the control of Phase One Network, an asset management company.

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 Sly Stone sampling, scene smashing hip hop track 'Because I Got it Like That' that launched the Jungle Brother's to the world in 1988, housed on their groundbeaking debut album 'Straight Out The Jungle'. Original copies of the single now change hands for £50 if you’re lucky so a fully remastered, official reissue is exactly what the doctor ordered! Backed with the rare Ultimatum mix (aka The Stereo MC's).
