Mike Gee (born Michael Small in Harlem, NY), DJ Sammy B (born Sammy Burwell
in Harlem, NY), and Baby Bam (born Nathaniel Hall in Brooklyn, NY) came
together as the Jungle Brothers in the mid-80s and began their recording
career at the dance label Idler. The result of the sessions, "Straight Out
The Jungle", was released in early 1988.

Although they predated the jazz-rap innovations of De La Soul, A Tribe
Called Quest, and Digable Planets, the Jungle Brothers were never able to
score with either rap fans or mainstream audiences,  due to their embrace
of a range of styles - including house music, Afrocentric philosophy, a
James Brown fixation, and of course, the use of jazz samples - each of
which has been the sole basis for the start-up of a rap act.

Signed to a major label for 1989's "Done By The Forces Of Nature", the JB's
failed to connect on that album - hailed by some as an ignored classic - or
the follow-up, "J Beez Wit The Remedy".
