Produced by Jungle Brothers
(1989)
To celebrate the worldwide release of the Beats, Rhymes & Life: The Travels of a Tribe Called Quest, I’m featuring Native Tongues tracks for the next couple of weeks. This week is all about Native Tongue posse cuts.
“Promo No. 2” is the b-side of the first single from the Jungle Brothers’ second album, Done By The Forces Of Nature. The title is an obvious reference to “The Promo”, the infamous flip side of “Straight Out The Jungle”, which served as the hip-hop world’s introduction to their high school classmate, Q-Tip.
The funk-filled sequel uses the popular Booker T. & The MGs “Hip Hug-Her” as it’s base. By 1989, A Tribe Called Quest was fully formed, and the Native Tongues were just beginning to carve out their eventual legacy.
