On this day, November 8, 1988, the Jungle Brothers released their debut album, Straight out the Jungle. Known for pioneering a unique fusion of hip-hop and jazz elements, this album reached #39 on the R&B charts and marked a key moment in the evolution of hip-hop. With tracks like “Straight Out the Jungle” and “Black Is Black,” the Jungle Brothers helped lay the groundwork for the Native Tongues movement, alongside groups like De La Soul and A Tribe Called Quest.
