Afrika Baby Bam - Jungle Brothers, The Native Tongues

Afrika Baby Bam, or as he’s also known, Bam - is a member of the Jungle Brothers - an incredibly influential hip hop group who were part of the Native Tongues Collective. I've talked about the Native Tongues in multiple ‪@diggingthegreats‬ videos - but today I’m excited to bring you my recent conversation with Bam himself.

We get into the formation of the Jungle Brothers, the Native Tongues, stories like recording the classic song “Buddy”, making the classic Hip House track “I’ll House You”, meeting Queen Latifah for the first time, and his new project, which is punk rock.
