Rumble in the Jungle: Volume One

Released

This split album was released in 1995, the high-water mark of jungle’s popularity and influence. It consists of twelve tracks, six each by Top Cat and General Levy, both of them early masters of the genre. Rumble in the Jungle features mixes by the likes of DJ Rap, Project One, and Blackboard Junglists, and while each of these producers or teams has a different style the overall vibe on this album is hard, spare, and sharply funky. Even though it features only two vocal artists, this album offers a great introduction to the classic jungle sound.
