We're taking it back to Hip Hop's golden era which rejected negativity in favor of individuality, common sense and having fun. The NATIVE TONGUES collective was perhaps the most prolific embodiment of what hip hop's foremothers and forefathers intended for the culture. The Native Tongue posse was formed in late 80's New York by The Jungle Brothers, under the guidance of Kool DJ Red Alert a prominent and well respected old school pioneer and Hip-Hop radio DJ. The collective's core groups were De La Soul, A Tribe Called Quest and The Jungle Brothers although other Native Tongue members included Queen Latifah, Black Sheep, Monie Love and Da Bush Babees. Many of these artists were members of the seminal Hip-Hop organisation the Zulu Nation created in the 70s by one of the founders of Hip-Hop: Afrika Bambaataa.
