One of Jungle's unsung heroes, Michael West began his career as Rebel MC with Brit rappers Double Trouble. After leaving Double Trouble in 1990, he released Black Meaning Good (1991), an album that featured ragga stars like Barrington Levy, Tenor Fly and Dennis Brown crooning and toasting on top of reggae-House riddims. Word, Sound and Power (1992) was a further exploration of roots electronica that mashed up Techno, House, reggae, ragga and hip-hop. Forming the Tribal Bass label, Rebel MC released "Tribal Bass" (1992) and the Demon Boyz' "Dett" (1992) and "Jungle-ist" (1993) which were Hip-House tracks borrowing a vibe from the Yard that heralded the emergence of Jungle.
The X-Project label followed shortly with the "Old School Ting" (1993) single. As Conquering Lion, West, with help from DJ Ron and Jumping Jack Frost, released the sound system mash-up "Lion of Judah/Innah Sound/Dub Plate Special" (1993). With vocals from Supercat. Conquering Lion's massive "Code Red/Phenomenon" (1994) caught the attention of 4th & Broadway who re-released the track along with "Rastaman/Word, Sound and Power/Code Black" (1995).
Moving back underground, West started the Congo Natty label with Black Star's "Champion DJ" (1995). With tearing breaks that sought to link Jungle's bottom end with roots reggae's militancy and dancehall toasting from Top Cat, "Champion DJ" was a dancefloor anthem that created the Congo Natty blueprint. Sweetie Irie and Tenor Fly followed Top Cat out of the dancehall on to the Junglist dub plate on Black Star's "Get Wild" and "Alaska Ride" (both 1995). Tribe of Issachar continued setting dancefloors alight with the enormous "Junglist" (1996) which featured vocals from Peter Bouncer. With vocals from Bounty Hunter, Lion of Judah's "Emperor Selassie I" (1996) was not only one of the label's biggest records, but its most effective combination of roughneck and roots.
DJ Kane's brilliant mix of Black Star's "Radical" (1997) was based around a killer KRS-One loop, while Tribe of Issachar's "Wardance" (1997) set a new standard of rawness for the label. The jump-up jeremiads continued on Lion of Judah's tearing "Exodus/ Mystic Vibration" (1998) which sampled both Bob Marley's "Iron Lion Zion" and Martin Luther King on top of one of the most invigorating basslines ever.
