"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, on this reissue double LP Release on colored audiophile grade vinyl , the I Got U album is remastered and re-released with additional tracks by 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."

"The multi-platinum, double Grammy Award winning group Arrested Development, delivers For the FKN Love a true hip-hop tour de force, once again Executively Produced by charismatic veteran frontman Speech and British production maestro, Configa.

Big Daddy Kane, The Sugar Hill Gang, Masta Ace, Freddie Foxxx, Monie Love, Kxng Crooked, G. Love, Tony Momrelle (Incognito), Dee-1 plus Fatman Scoop all feature! Legends of this caliber rarely do features and yet have graced this album For the FKN Love! AD has always been dedicated to supporting up-and-coming talent, and this trend continues with the likes of Twan Mack, Dell-P, Lish, Ke'Andra, 4ize, Twisted Royalty, Cleveland P Jones, MRK SX & Jahah all adding weight to proceedings.When it comes to boombap and classic rap, few artists come close to Arrested Development. The two-time Grammy Award-winning hip-hop group was the first hip-hop group to ever receive the Grammy for 'Best New Artist,' while also receiving one for 'Best Rap Single.' Showing the widespread appeal of Arrested Development, its track 'Tennessee' was later named by the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame as one of the 'Top 500 Songs That Shaped Rock & Roll,' while the group was recognized at the Black Music Honors Awards in September 2019. Meanwhile, 1993's Unplugged album was not only Gold-certified by the RIAA, but proved influential as one of the first hip-hop performances from the MTV institution. 'Vibe' is the latest single from Arrested Development, as featuring Big Daddy Kane, Cleveland P Jones and Tasha LaRae. Part of the new studio album For the FKN Love, 'Vibe' was produced by British Production and boombap specialist Configa. Other contributors to For the FKN Love include The Sugar Hill Gang, Masta Ace, Freddie Foxxx, Monie Love, Kxng Crooked, G-Love & Special Sauce's G-Love, Incognito's Tony Momrelle, Dee-1 and Fatman Scoop.

"Back in 1998, RZA had already cemented his status as Wu-Tang Clan's man behind the boards, producing the entirety of the group's respective solo albums. But when it came to his own breakout moment, the producer opted to introduce the world to Bobby Digital, a cartoonishly hedonistic mad-rapping alter-ego and grew so fond of the character that he released another album under the moniker before finally delivering 2003's Birth of a Prince as the RZA. Now it seems Bobby Digital is back in the picture and potentially set square up with his host. On Friday, RZA announced a new album, RZA vs. Bobby Digital, with the release of the hard-hitting new single, 'Saturday Afternoon Kung Fu Theater.' According to a press release, production on the album is handled by DJ Scratch. 'Giving Scratch the reins as a producer and me taking the reins as an MC, that's what frees me up creatively and lets me play more with lyrical gags and lyrical flows because I don't have to be focused on everything,' the producer noted in a statement. The new single marks the second Bobby Digital drop of the year, following 'Pugilism,' which was slated to be featured on the long-rumored project, The Cure, but seems to be a part of another upcoming collection of songs under the moniker titled Digital Potions.
