So, how to explain the essence of Jungle Revolution, the new album from Congo Natty, formerly known as Rebel MC. We could say it's about how he sees jungle as this century's iteration of roots reggae. But let's turn to him for guidance: ""The message of reggae is Ras Tafari and Ras Tafari is love. They sang about love but they was also prophesying and talking about the system, talking about things that were going on in the world. I saw jungle as being that same music, where we were going to spread a message."
A plethora of guests join Congo Natty for Jungle Revolution – On-U Sound mainstays Adrian Sherwood and Skip McDonald take care of mixing and guitar respectively. Benny Page, Serial Killaz and Boyson & Crooks offer production expertise. And UK soundsystem culture is represented by the likes of Nanci & Phoebe and Lady Chann.
