Mr Bongo
Jungle Brown are set to release their second full-length LP, 'Full Circle', on the Mr Bongo label in September 2019. The trio - aka A Boy Called Ric, Maear & Tony Bones - have spent the last two years redefining soulful hip-hop - the sound is bigger, more thought provoking, and it has matured with a rich soulful underpinning. They have also entered territories fans are yet to hear from them as they glide effortlessly over Tony Bones productions that introduce trap and house into their repertoire. The project is an eclectic array of their influences, twisted and blended together to create a ground-breaking release for UK music. Jungle Brown's debut album 'Flight 314' achieved in excess of half a million streams without any budget for marketing or promotion. They spent much of 2016 in Apple Music's 'Best of 2016 category, featuring on Spotify and SB.TV, were asked to requested to create an exclusive playlist for Tidal and attracted attention from New York with Beats 1's very own, Ebro. They've shared stages with the likes of Ghostface Killah, AJ Tracey, Doneo, De La Soul and Kurupt FM and have played major festivals including Glastonbury and Boomtown as well as a huge number of clubs shows across the UK. The first single from this new project, 'Keep It Movin', will be released on 3rd May by Mr Bongo, perfectly timed for summer. Boom-bap meets future rap, decorated with a Daisy Age sax line from Ayo and backing vocals from producer, Tony Bones.
