From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
1988 studio album by Jungle Brothers
Straight out the Jungle is the debut album from
hip hop group
Jungle Brothers . The album marked the beginning of the
Native Tongues collective, which later featured popular artists such as
De La Soul ,
A Tribe Called Quest and
Black Sheep . The album's masters have a lower quality to other hip-hop albums of its kind, compared to the singles.
The single "I'll House You", added to the album in late-1988 reissues, is known as the first non-
Chicago
hip-house record to be a sufficiently big club hit, to drastically change how the hip-hop and dance-music industries work.[
