Throughout the last decade, the Jungle Brothers have been quite quiet when it has come to releasing music. Afrika Baby Bam, Mike Gee, and DJ Sammy B can still tear down a concert, evident in their 2016 New York City Roots Picnic display. However, these co-founders of the Native Tongues crew have not been as prolific in the 2010s as De La Soul, Dres, or A Tribe Called Quest. Beginning last summer, there have been reports that the drought is soon to end when it comes to fresh music out the Jungle.

DJ Yoda is a veteran turntablist/producer from London, England. Dating back to his 2006 LP, The Amazing Adventures Of DJ Yoda (see: “Playin’ Around”), he’s worked with the Jungle Brothers. Additionally, Yoda has cut album tracks with Action Bronson, Biz Markie, Akinyele, and Greg Nice. On this month’s Home Cooking, he brings Mike, Afrika, and company back to the fold. “Afrika” is a 2019 entry to a vast catalog, which honors some of Hip-Hop’s party roots.
